Class AbstractButton

java.lang.Object
  java.awt.Component
      java.awt.Container
          javax.swing.JComponent
              javax.swing.AbstractButton

All Implemented Interfaces:: ImageObserver, ItemSelectable, MenuContainer, Serializable, SwingConstants

Direct Known Subclasses:: JButton, JMenuItem, JToggleButton

public abstract class AbstractButton
extends JComponent
implements ItemSelectable, SwingConstants
extends JComponent
implements ItemSelectable, SwingConstants

Defines common behaviors for buttons and menu items.

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.

For further information see How 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 JavaBeans^TM has been added to the java.beans package. Please see XMLEncoder.

Constructor Detail

AbstractButton

public AbstractButton()

Method Detail

setHideActionText

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

getText

public String getText()

Returns the button's text.

Returns:: the buttons text
See Also:: setText(java.lang.String)

setText

public void setText(String text)

Sets the button's text.

Parameters:: text - the string used to set the text
See Also:: getText()

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 programatic 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

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

getMargin

public Insets getMargin()

Returns the margin between the button's border and the label.

Returns:: an Insets object specifying the margin between the botton's border and the label
See Also:: setMargin(java.awt.Insets)

getIcon

public Icon getIcon()

Returns the default icon.

Returns:: the default Icon
See Also:: setIcon(javax.swing.Icon)

setIcon

public void setIcon(Icon defaultIcon)

Sets the button's default icon. This icon is also used as the "pressed" and "disabled" icon if there is no explicitly set pressed icon.

Parameters:: defaultIcon - the icon used as the default image
See Also:: getIcon(), setPressedIcon(javax.swing.Icon)

getPressedIcon

public Icon getPressedIcon()

Returns the pressed icon for the button.

Returns:: the pressedIcon property

removeNotify

public void removeNotify()

Notifies this component that it no longer has a parent component. When this method is invoked, any KeyboardActions set up in the the chain of parent components are removed.

Overrides:: removeNotify in class JComponent

Since:: 1.6
See Also:: JComponent.registerKeyboardAction(java.awt.event.ActionListener, java.lang.String, javax.swing.KeyStroke, int)

setActionCommand

public void setActionCommand(String actionCommand)

Sets the action command for this button.

Parameters:: actionCommand - the action command for this button

getActionCommand

public String getActionCommand()

Returns the action command for this button.

Returns:: the action command for this button

setAction

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
See Also:: Action, setAction(javax.swing.Action)

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
See Also:: 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
Since:: 1.3
See Also:: Actions, Action, setAction(javax.swing.Action)

isBorderPainted

public boolean isBorderPainted()

Gets the borderPainted property.

Parameters:: g - the Graphics context in which to paint
See Also:: JComponent.paint(java.awt.Graphics), JComponent.setBorder(javax.swing.border.Border)

isFocusPainted

public boolean isFocusPainted()

Gets the paintFocus property.

Returns:: the paintFocus property
See Also:: setFocusPainted(boolean)

setFocusPainted

public void setFocusPainted(boolean b)

Sets the paintFocus property, which must be true for the focus state to be painted. The default value for the paintFocus property is true. Some look and feels might not paint focus state; they will ignore this property.

Parameters:: b - if true, the focus state should be painted
See Also:: isFocusPainted()

isContentAreaFilled

public boolean isContentAreaFilled()

Gets the contentAreaFilled property.

Returns:: the contentAreaFilled property
See Also:: setContentAreaFilled(boolean)

setContentAreaFilled

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 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:: b - if true, the content should be filled; if false the content area is not filled
See Also:: isContentAreaFilled(), JComponent.setOpaque(boolean)

isRolloverEnabled

public boolean isRolloverEnabled()

Returns:: the value of the rolloverEnabled property
See Also:: setRolloverEnabled(boolean)

setRolloverEnabled

public void setRolloverEnabled(boolean b)

Parameters:: b - if true, rollover effects should be painted
See Also:: isRolloverEnabled()

getMnemonic

public int getMnemonic()

Returns the keyboard mnemonic from the the current model.

Returns:: the keyboard mnemonic from the model

setMnemonic

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. 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

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

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
Since:: 1.4
See Also:: getDisplayedMnemonicIndex()

getDisplayedMnemonicIndex

public int getDisplayedMnemonicIndex()

Returns the character, as an index, that the look and feel should provide decoration for as representing the mnemonic character.

Returns:: index representing mnemonic character
Since:: 1.4
See Also:: setDisplayedMnemonicIndex(int)

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
Since:: 1.4
See Also:: getMultiClickThreshhold()

getMultiClickThreshhold
