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:
ItemSelectable, MenuContainer, ImageObserver, Serializable, Accessible, SwingConstants, TransferHandler.HasGetTransferHandler
Direct Known Subclasses:
JCheckBox, JRadioButton

Most common ways to construct:

ActionEvent aEvent = …;

JToggleButton tb = (JToggleButton)aEvent.getSource();

JToggleButton crayon = new JToggleButton();

Based on 11 examples


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 see How to Use Buttons, Check Boxes, and Radio Buttons, a section in The Java Tutorial.

Buttons can be configured, and to some degree controlled, by Actions. 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.

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}.
