Chapter 49:

How to Create Forms and to Fire Your own Events

In this chapter, you learn how to deploy components that allow data to be typed into text fields, so that you can display and edit a movie's instance variables. You also learn about labels and buttons.

Next, you learn about what property-change listeners are and how you can fire events that activate property-change listeners.

When you have completed this chapter, the movie application about which you are learning will have not only a rating meter and a displayed list of movies, but also mechanisms that allow you to change ratings easily.
