JButton (Java 2 Platform SE 5.0) (original) (raw)

javax.swing

Class JButton

java.lang.Object extended by java.awt.Component java.awt.Container javax.swing.JComponent javax.swing.AbstractButton javax.swing.JButton

All Implemented Interfaces:

ImageObserver, ItemSelectable, MenuContainer, Serializable, Accessible, SwingConstants

Direct Known Subclasses:

BasicArrowButton, MetalComboBoxButton

public class JButton

extends AbstractButton

implements Accessible

An implementation of a "push" button. See How to Use Buttons, Check Boxes, and Radio Buttons in The Java Tutorial for information and examples of using buttons.

Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeansTM has been added to the java.beans package. Please see XMLEncoder.

Constructor Summary
JButton() Creates a button with no set text or icon.
JButton(Action a) Creates a button where properties are taken from the Action supplied.
JButton(Icon icon) Creates a button with an icon.
JButton(String text) Creates a button with text.
[JButton](../../javax/swing/JButton.html#JButton%28java.lang.String, javax.swing.Icon%29)(String text,Icon icon) Creates a button with initial text and an icon.

Method Summary
protected void	configurePropertiesFromAction(Action a) Factory method which sets the AbstractButton's properties according to values from the Action instance.
AccessibleContext	getAccessibleContext() Gets the AccessibleContext associated with thisJButton.
String	getUIClassID() Returns a string that specifies the name of the L&F class that renders this component.
boolean	isDefaultButton() Gets the value of the defaultButton property, which if true means that this button is the current default button for its JRootPane.
boolean	isDefaultCapable() Gets the value of the defaultCapable property.
protected String	paramString() Returns a string representation of this JButton.
void	removeNotify() Overrides JComponent.removeNotify to check if this button is currently set as the default button on theRootPane, and if so, sets the RootPane's default button to null to ensure theRootPane doesn't hold onto an invalid button reference.
void	setDefaultCapable(boolean defaultCapable) Sets the defaultCapable property, which determines whether this button can be made the default button for its root pane.
void	updateUI() Resets the UI property to a value from the current look and feel.
