How to get the windows native look in Java GUI programming?

Question

I am new to Java programming and want to whether it is possible to get the windows native look in Java GUI applications. Obviously Swing won't work.

Answer 1

Use the following:

UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName()); 

Read UIManager and How to Set the Look and Feel for more information.

Answer 2

Try this....

The syntax is:

UIManager.setLookAndFeel(PLAF); (Pluggable Look and Feel)

So, you must include the below 3 lines.

UIManager.setLookAndFeel("com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel");  SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI(frame);  updateComponentTreeUI(frame); 

SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI(frame) is used for refreshing the frame after the change.
