public void setHideActionText​(boolean hideActionText)
        Sets the hideActionText property, which determines whether the button displays text from the Action. This is useful only if an Action has been installed on the button.
        Parameters:
        hideActionText - true if the button's text property should not reflect that of the Action; the default is false
        Since:
        1.6
        See Also:
        Swing Components Supporting Action

      • getHideActionText

        public boolean getHideActionText​()
        Returns the value of the hideActionText property, which determines whether the button displays text from the Action. This is useful only if an Action has been installed on the button.
        Returns:
        true if the button's text property should not reflect that of the Action; the default is false
        Since:
        1.6

      • isSelected

        public boolean isSelected​()
        Returns the state of the button. True if the toggle button is selected, false if it's not.
        Returns:
        true if the toggle button is selected, otherwise false

      • setSelected

        public void setSelected​(boolean b)
        Sets the state of the button. Note that this method does not trigger an actionEvent. Call doClick to perform a programmatic action change.
        Parameters:
        b - true if the button is selected, otherwise false

      • doClick

        public void doClick​()
        Programmatically perform a "click". This does the same thing as if the user had pressed and released the button.

      • doClick

        public void doClick​(int pressTime)
        Programmatically perform a "click". This does the same thing as if the user had pressed and released the button. The button stays visually "pressed" for pressTime milliseconds.
        Parameters:
        pressTime - the time to "hold down" the button, in milliseconds

      • setMargin

        @BeanProperty(visualUpdate=true,
              description="The space between the button\'s border and the label.")
public void setMargin​(Insets m)
        Sets space for margin between the button's border and the label. Setting to null will cause the button to use the default margin. The button's default Border object will use this value to create the proper margin. However, if a non-default border is set on the button, it is that Border object's responsibility to create the appropriate margin space (else this property will effectively be ignored).
        Parameters:
        m - the space between the border and the label

      • setAction

        @BeanProperty(visualUpdate=true,
              description="the Action instance connected with this ActionEvent source")
public void setAction​(Action a)
        Sets the Action. The new Action replaces any previously set Action but does not affect ActionListeners independently added with addActionListener. If the Action is already a registered ActionListener for the button, it is not re-registered.

        Setting the Action results in immediately changing all the properties described in Swing Components Supporting Action. Subsequently, the button's properties are automatically updated as the Action's properties change.

        This method uses three other methods to set and help track the Action's property values. It uses the configurePropertiesFromAction method to immediately change the button's properties. To track changes in the Action's property values, this method registers the PropertyChangeListener returned by createActionPropertyChangeListener. The default PropertyChangeListener invokes the actionPropertyChanged method when a property in the Action changes.

        Parameters:
        a - the Action for the AbstractButton, or null
        Since:
        1.3
        See Also:
        Action, getAction(), configurePropertiesFromAction(javax.swing.Action), createActionPropertyChangeListener(javax.swing.Action), actionPropertyChanged(javax.swing.Action, java.lang.String)

      • getAction

        public Action getAction​()
        Returns the currently set Action for this ActionEvent source, or null if no Action is set.
        Returns:
        the Action for this ActionEvent source, or null
        Since:
        1.3

      • configurePropertiesFromAction

        protected void configurePropertiesFromAction​(Action a)
        Sets the properties on this button to match those in the specified Action. Refer to Swing Components Supporting Action for more details as to which properties this sets.
        Parameters:
        a - the Action from which to get the properties, or null
        Since:
        1.3
        See Also:
        Action, setAction(javax.swing.Action)

      • actionPropertyChanged

        protected void actionPropertyChanged​(Action action,
                                     String propertyName)
        Updates the button's state in response to property changes in the associated action. This method is invoked from the PropertyChangeListener returned from createActionPropertyChangeListener. Subclasses do not normally need to invoke this. Subclasses that support additional Action properties should override this and configurePropertiesFromAction.

        Refer to the table at Swing Components Supporting Action for a list of the properties this method sets.

        Parameters:
        action - the Action associated with this button
        propertyName - the name of the property that changed
        Since:
        1.6

        Action, configurePropertiesFromAction(javax.swing.Action)

      • createActionPropertyChangeListener

        protected PropertyChangeListener createActionPropertyChangeListener​(Action a)
        Creates and returns a PropertyChangeListener that is responsible for listening for changes from the specified Action and updating the appropriate properties.

        Warning: If you subclass this do not create an anonymous inner class. If you do the lifetime of the button will be tied to that of the Action.

        Parameters:
        a - the button's action
        Returns:
        the PropertyChangeListener
        Since:
        1.3

public void setContentAreaFilled​(boolean b)
        Sets the contentAreaFilled property. If true the button will paint the content area. If you wish to have a transparent button, such as an icon only button, for example, then you should set this to false. Do not call setOpaque(false). The default value for the contentAreaFilled property is true.

        This function may cause the component's opaque property to change.

        The exact behavior of calling this function varies on a component-by-component and L&F-by-L&F basis.

        Parameters:

        Sets the rolloverEnabled property, which must be true for rollover effects to occur. The default value for the rolloverEnabled property is false. Some look and feels might not implement rollover effects; they will ignore this property.
        Parameters:
        b - if true, rollover effects should be painted

      • getMnemonic

        public int getMnemonic​()
        Returns the keyboard mnemonic from the current model.
        Returns:
        the keyboard mnemonic from the model

      • setMnemonic

        @BeanProperty(visualUpdate=true,
              description="the keyboard character mnemonic")
public void setMnemonic​(int mnemonic)
        Sets the keyboard mnemonic on the current model. The mnemonic is the key which when combined with the look and feel's mouseless modifier (usually Alt) will activate this button if focus is contained somewhere within this button's ancestor window.

        A mnemonic must correspond to a single key on the keyboard and should be specified using one of the VK_XXX keycodes defined in java.awt.event.KeyEvent. These codes and the wider array of codes for international keyboards may be obtained through java.awt.event.KeyEvent.getExtendedKeyCodeForChar. Mnemonics are case-insensitive, therefore a key event with the corresponding keycode would cause the button to be activated whether or not the Shift modifier was pressed.

        If the character defined by the mnemonic is found within the button's label string, the first occurrence of it will be underlined to indicate the mnemonic to the user.

        Parameters:
        mnemonic - the key code which represents the mnemonic
        See Also:
        KeyEvent, setDisplayedMnemonicIndex(int)

      • setMnemonic

        @BeanProperty(visualUpdate=true,
              description="the keyboard character mnemonic")
public void setMnemonic​(char mnemonic)
        This method is now obsolete, please use setMnemonic(int) to set the mnemonic for a button. This method is only designed to handle character values which fall between 'a' and 'z' or 'A' and 'Z'.
        Parameters:
        mnemonic - a char specifying the mnemonic value
        See Also:
        setMnemonic(int)

      • setDisplayedMnemonicIndex

        @BeanProperty(visualUpdate=true,
              description="the index into the String to draw the keyboard character mnemonic at")
public void setDisplayedMnemonicIndex​(int index)
                               throws IllegalArgumentException
        Provides a hint to the look and feel as to which character in the text should be decorated to represent the mnemonic. Not all look and feels may support this. A value of -1 indicates either there is no mnemonic, the mnemonic character is not contained in the string, or the developer does not wish the mnemonic to be displayed.

        The value of this is updated as the properties relating to the mnemonic change (such as the mnemonic itself, the text...). You should only ever have to call this if you do not wish the default character to be underlined. For example, if the text was 'Save As', with a mnemonic of 'a', and you wanted the 'A' to be decorated, as 'Save As', you would have to invoke setDisplayedMnemonicIndex(5) after invoking setMnemonic(KeyEvent.VK_A).

        Parameters:
        index - Index into the String to underline
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - will be thrown if index is >= length of the text, or < -1

      • setMultiClickThreshhold

        public void setMultiClickThreshhold​(long threshhold)
        Sets the amount of time (in milliseconds) required between mouse press events for the button to generate the corresponding action events. After the initial mouse press occurs (and action event generated) any subsequent mouse press events which occur on intervals less than the threshhold will be ignored and no corresponding action event generated. By default the threshhold is 0, which means that for each mouse press, an action event will be fired, no matter how quickly the mouse clicks occur. In buttons where this behavior is not desirable (for example, the "OK" button in a dialog), this threshhold should be set to an appropriate positive value.
        Parameters:
        threshhold - the amount of time required between mouse press events to generate corresponding action events
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if threshhold < 0
