GUIObject

The functionality provided by GUIKit has been superseded by the interface construction and controls functions native to the built-in Wolfram Language.

GUIObject[root,args]

represents a live interface instance with root widget root, wrapping the active widgets and environment.

Details and Options

  • To use GUIObject, you first need to load GUIKit using Needs["GUIKit`"].
  • A GUIObject represents a live interface instance wrapping both the created Java objects as well as the runtime environment associated with the scripting code and Wolfram Language contexts.
  • GUIObject objects are comprised mostly of private definitions, but the first argument is a JavaObject instance of the top-level widget in the interface and supports direct J/Link style calls.
  • A GUIObject is created whenever GUILoad or GUIRun is called.
  • A GUIObject is released interactively when an interface is closed or programmatically using CloseGUIObject or ReleaseGUIObject.

Examples

The first argument is a normal JavaObject instance:

Most of the parameters are private environment states that cannot be properly built up manually:

Many GUIKit functions work with a GUIObject instance:
