Integration Compose for Desktop into Swing-based application

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.

Adding a Swing component to CFD composition using SwingPanel

SwingPanel lets you create a UI using Swing in a Compose-based UI. To achieve this you need to create Swing JComponent in the factory parameter of SwingPanel.

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

            Button("2. Compose Button: increment", inc)
        }
    }
}

@Composable
fun Button(text: String = "", action: (() -> Unit)? = null) {
    Button(
        modifier = Modifier.size(270.dp, 30.dp),
        onClick = { action?.invoke() }
    ) {
        Text(text)

}

fun actionButton(
    text: String,
    action: () -> Unit
): JButton {
    val button = JButton(text)
    button.alignmentX = Component.CENTER_ALIGNMENT
    button.addActionListener { action() }

    return button
}
