defaultCapable

private boolean defaultCapable

Constructor Detail

JButton

public JButton()

Enabled: Creates a button with no set text or icon.

JButton

public JButton(Icon icon)

Enabled: Creates a button with an icon.

Parameters:

icon - the Icon image to display on the button

JButton

public JButton(String text)

Enabled: Creates a button with text.

Parameters:

text - the text of the button

JButton

public JButton(Action a)

Enabled: Creates a button where properties are taken from the Action supplied.

Parameters:

a - the Action used to specify the new button

Since:

1.3

JButton

public JButton(String text,
               Icon icon)

Enabled: Creates a button with initial text and an icon.

Parameters:

text - the text of the button

icon - the Icon image to display on the button

Method Detail

updateUI

public void updateUI()

Suppressed: Resets the UI property to a value from the current look and feel.

Overrides:

updateUI in class AbstractButton

See Also:

JComponent.updateUI()

getUIClassID

public String getUIClassID()

Suppressed: Returns a string that specifies the name of the L&F class that renders this component.

Overrides:

getUIClassID in class JComponent

Returns:

the string "ButtonUI"

See Also:

JComponent.getUIClassID(), UIDefaults.getUI(javax.swing.JComponent)

isDefaultButton

public boolean isDefaultButton()

Enabled: Gets the value of the defaultButton property, which if true means that this button is the current default button for its JRootPane. Most look and feels render the default button differently, and may potentially provide bindings to access the default button.

Returns:

the value of the defaultButton property

See Also:

JRootPane.setDefaultButton(javax.swing.JButton), isDefaultCapable()

isDefaultCapable

public boolean isDefaultCapable()

Enabled: Gets the value of the defaultCapable property.

Returns:

the value of the defaultCapable property

See Also:

setDefaultCapable(boolean), isDefaultButton(), JRootPane.setDefaultButton(javax.swing.JButton)

setDefaultCapable

public void setDefaultCapable(boolean defaultCapable)

Enabled: 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

See Also:

isDefaultCapable()

removeNotify

public void removeNotify()

Suppressed: Overrides JComponent.removeNotify to check if this button is currently set as the default button on the RootPane, and if so, sets the RootPane's default button to null to ensure the RootPane doesn't hold onto an invalid button reference.

Overrides:

See Also:

JComponent.registerKeyboardAction(java.awt.event.ActionListener, java.lang.String, javax.swing.KeyStroke, int)

configurePropertiesFromAction

Factory method which sets the AbstractButton's properties according to values from the Action instance. The properties which get set may differ for AbstractButton subclasses. By default, the properties which get set are Text, Icon, Enabled, ToolTipText, ActionCommand, and Mnemonic.

Overrides:

configurePropertiesFromAction in class AbstractButton

Parameters:

a - the Action from which to get the properties, or null

Since:

1.3

See Also:

Action, AbstractButton.setAction(javax.swing.Action)

writeObject

                  throws IOException

See readObject() and writeObject() in JComponent for more information about serialization in Swing.

Parameters:

s - the ObjectOutputStream in which to write

IOException

paramString

Overrides:

paramString in class AbstractButton

Returns:

a string representation of this JButton

getAccessibleContext

public AccessibleContext getAccessibleContext()

Suppressed: Gets the AccessibleContext associated with this JButton. For JButtons, the AccessibleContext takes the form of an AccessibleJButton. A new AccessibleJButton instance is created if necessary.

Specified by:

getAccessibleContext in interface Accessible

Overrides:

getAccessibleContext in class JComponent

Returns:

an AccessibleJButton that serves as the AccessibleContext of this JButton
