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


javax.swing

Class JToggleButton

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

All Implemented Interfaces:

ImageObserver, ItemSelectable, MenuContainer, Serializable, Accessible, SwingConstants

Direct Known Subclasses:

JCheckBox, JRadioButton


public class JToggleButton

extends AbstractButton

implements Accessible

An implementation of a two-state button. The JRadioButton and JCheckBox classes are subclasses of this class. For information on using them seeHow to Use Buttons, Check Boxes, and Radio Buttons, a section in The Java Tutorial.

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.

JRadioButton, JCheckBox
