Swing implements the checkbox as a special kind of button. JRadioButton-Radio buttons are similar to checkboxes, but they are usually arranged in groups. Click on one radio button in the group, and the others automatically turn off. They are named for the preset buttons on old car radios. jList- It is a list of items from which selections can be made. Multiple elements can also be selected at a time. jComboBox- It provides a dropdown list of items. New Items can be added to it.
