Program's Output

The Java system automatically paints the frame when any of several things has happened:

• The frame has just been created.
• The frame has been maximized.
• The frame was previously hidden behind another frame and has just been exponsed.

However, a mere button click does not necessarily mean that a frame should be repainted. If it does, as it does in this program, call repaint() in the actionPerformed() method.

The pictures show the output of the program. The original frame is on the top. On the bottom is the frame after the button has been clicked. Additional clicks do nothing. Although the events are handled, all that happens is that the frame is set to blue each time. Clicking on the frame's close window button closes the frame.
