FIGURE K.2 Specific events generated by specific components

A tool bar is a container that groups several components into a row or col-
umn. A tool bar usually contains buttons that correspond to tasks that can
also be accomplished in other ways. Tool bars can be dragged away from
the container in which they initially exist into their own window.

■

An internal frame is a container that operates like a regular frame but
only within another window. An internal frame can be moved around
within the window and overlapped with other internal frames. Internal
frames can be used to create the feel of a GUI desktop in which compo-
nents can be arranged as the user chooses.
