javax.swing
class JButton
- All Implemented Interfaces:
- ItemSelectable, MenuContainer, ImageObserver, Serializable, Accessible, SwingConstants, TransferHandler.HasGetTransferHandler
- Direct Known Subclasses:
- BasicArrowButton, MetalComboBoxButton
-
Most common way to construct:
-
JButton button = new JButton("OK");
Based on 139 examples
public class JButton
extends AbstractButton
implements Accessible
An implementation of a "push" button.
Buttons can be configured, and to some degree controlled, by
Action
s. Using an
Action
with a button has many benefits beyond directly
configuring a button. Refer to
Swing Components Supporting Action
for more
details, and you can find more information in How
to Use Actions, a section in The Java Tutorial.
See How to Use Buttons, Check Boxes, and Radio Buttons
in The Java Tutorial
for information and examples of using buttons.
Warning: Swing is not thread safe. For more
information see Swing's Threading
Policy.
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 {@link java.beans.XMLEncoder}.

Method Summary |
AccessibleContext |
Gets the AccessibleContext associated with this
JButton .
|
String |
Returns a string that specifies the name of the L&F class
that renders this component.
|
boolean |
Gets the value of the defaultButton property,
which if true means that this button is the current
default button for its JRootPane .
|
boolean |
Gets the value of the defaultCapable property.
|

Returns a string representation of this JButton .
|
void |
Overrides JComponent.removeNotify to check if

doesn't hold onto an invalid button reference.
- Overrides:
removeNotify
in class AbstractButton
setDefaultCapable
public void setDefaultCapable(boolean defaultCapable)

Sets the
defaultCapable
property,
which determines whether this button can be
made the default button for its root pane.
The default value of the defaultCapable
property is true
unless otherwise
specified by the look and feel.
- Parameters:
defaultCapable
- true
if this button will be
capable of being the default button on the
RootPane
; otherwise false
updateUI
public void updateUI()
-
Resets the UI property to a value from the current look and
feel.
- Overrides:
updateUI
in class AbstractButton
