Converting console into gui

[unwrittennovel]

Hey everybody out there i ve written a code for Image STEGANOGRAPHY its in console kindly help me in converting it to a GUI........... FIND THE CODEs BELOW

thank yu in advance........

First thing you need to do is design what you want the GUI to look like.
Take a piece of paper and layout the components you want and their locations on the GUI.
Have you read the Java Tutorial on Swing GUI?
Trail: Creating a GUI With JFC/Swing (The Java™ Tutorials)

[unwrittennovel]

well to be honest im new to java n i took a help of my senior in writing this prog. n the thing is that i need the gui version of this console to be done before monday.... :(

[Norm]

If you want help, post your questions and describe your problems.

[unwrittennovel]

well yu bet i do need help n very badly in need of it.. .
Well i ll just tell yu d needs which the .jar app shud have.. .firstly it shud have 2 options 1.ENCODE 2.DECODE.. .
next it shud chose an image file n ask the user to enter the data to be encrypted within the image.. .then after encryption is done, it shud save d new image in some place.. .
Then in d decoding part it shud again ask for the image which is to be decrypted ie the image from which the hidden data needs to be decrypted.. .that's it .. .help of ny kind ll be appreciated.. .thank you :)

[Norm]

Your last post looks like it was about how the internals of the app should work.
What about the conversion to GUI? Do you have a design for how you want the GUI to look?
Do you have any problems or questions about the code you are writing?

[unwrittennovel]

well a simple gui would do no fancy designs as such.. .regarding the doubts related to the code .. .well actually i donno how to write a code for d interfacing, i'm just a beginner.. .i know it's too much asking for d code for gui but dat's d only option i'm left with :(

[Norm]

i donno how to write a code for d interfacing, i'm just a beginner

Here is a good place to start learning how to write GUIs:

There is a fundamental difference between console input/output and gui applications; for the console your application 'pulls' its input, i.e. it actively waits for input to become available. Not so with a gui based application, i.e. the gui itself 'pushes' its input into your application, while your application was doing other things, possibly nothing. This is modeled by listeners, pieces of code in your application that are called when some input is available (text from a field or a button press or whatever). Converting from a console based application to a gui based application turns your entire application 'inside out'. It is just as easy to rebuild the entire application from scratch.

kind regards,
