Integration Compose for Desktop into Swing-based aplication

What is covered

In this tutorial, we will show you how to use ComposePanel and SwingPanel in your application.

Using ComposePanel

ComposePanel lets you create a UI using Compose for Desktop in a Swing-based UI. To achieve this you need to create an instance of ComposePanel, add it to your Swing layout, and describe the composition inside setContent. You may also need to clear the CFD application events via AppManager.setEvents.

val northClicks = mutableStateOf(0)
val westClicks = mutableStateOf(0)
val eastClicks = mutableStateOf(0)

fun main() {
    // explicitly clear the application events
    AppManager.setEvents(
        onAppStart = null,
        onAppExit = null,
        onWindowsEmpty = null
    )
    SwingComposeWindow()
}

fun SwingComposeWindow() {
    val window = JFrame()

    // creating ComposePanel
    val composePanel = ComposePanel()
    window.defaultCloseOperation = WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE
    window.title = "SwingComposeWindow"


    window.contentPane.add(actionButton("NORTH", { northClicks.value++ }), BorderLayout.NORTH)
    window.contentPane.add(actionButton("WEST", { westClicks.value++ }), BorderLayout.WEST)
    window.contentPane.add(actionButton("EAST", { eastClicks.value++ }), BorderLayout.EAST)
    window.contentPane.add(
        actionButton(
            text = "SOUTH/REMOVE COMPOSE",
            action = {
                window.contentPane.remove(composePanel)
            }
        ),
        BorderLayout.SOUTH
    )

    // addind ComposePanel on JFrame
    window.contentPane.add(composePanel, BorderLayout.CENTER)

    // setting the content
    composePanel.setContent {
        ComposeContent()
    }

    window.setSize(800, 600)
    window.setVisible(true)
}

fun actionButton(text: String, action: (() -> Unit)? = null): JButton {
    val button = JButton(text)
    button.setToolTipText("Tooltip for $text button.")
    button.setPreferredSize(Dimension(100, 100))
    button.addActionListener(object : ActionListener {
        public override fun actionPerformed(e: ActionEvent) {
            action?.invoke()
        }
    })

    return button
}

@Composable
fun ComposeContent() {
    Box(
        modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize(),
        contentAlignment = Alignment.Center
    ) {
        Row {
            Counter("West", westClicks)
            Spacer(modifier = Modifier.width(25.dp))
            Counter("North", northClicks)
            Spacer(modifier = Modifier.width(25.dp))
            Counter("East", eastClicks)
        }
    }
}

@Composable
fun Counter(text: String, counter: MutableState<Int>) {
    Surface(
        modifier = Modifier.size(130.dp, 130.dp),
        color = Color(180, 180, 180),
        shape = RoundedCornerShape(4.dp)
    ) {
        Column {
            Box(
                modifier = Modifier.height(30.dp).fillMaxWidth(),
                contentAlignment = Alignment.Center
            ) {
                Text(text = "${text}Clicks: ${counter.value}")
            }
            Spacer(modifier = Modifier.height(25.dp))
            Box(
                modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize(),
                contentAlignment = Alignment.Center
            ) {
                Button(onClick = { counter.value++ }) {
                    Text(text = text, color = Color.White)
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Adding a Swing component to CFD composition using SwingPanel.

SwingPanel lets you create a UI using Swing components in a Compose-based UI. To achieve this you need to create Swing component and pass it as a parameter to SwingPanel.

                Spacer(modifier = Modifier.height(20.dp))

                    modifier = Modifier.size(270.dp, 90.dp),
                    componentBlock = { swingBox(dec) }
                )

fun Button(text: String = "", action: (() -> Unit)? = null) {
    Button(

        onClick = { action?.invoke() }
    ) {
        Text(text)
    }
}

fun swingBox(action: (() -> Unit)? = null): Component {
    val box = JPanel()
    box.setLayout(BoxLayout(box, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS))

    box.add(actionButton("1. Swing Button: decrement", action))
    box.add(actionButton("2. Swing Button: decrement", action))
    box.add(actionButton("3. Swing Button: decrement", action))

    return box
}

fun actionButton(
    text: String,
    action: (() -> Unit)? = null
): JButton {
    val button = JButton(text)
    button.setAlignmentX(Component.CENTER_ALIGNMENT)
    button.addActionListener(object : ActionListener {
        public override fun actionPerformed(e: ActionEvent) {
            action?.invoke()
        }
    })

    return button
}
