Thanks a lot
Following is my code I am using at now

 
 
jButton2.setIcon(new javax.swing.ImageIcon("C:\\Projects\\Zoom\\ProjectZoom\\zoomin.gif"));
        jButton2.setBorder(null);
        jButton2.setBorderPainted(false);
        jButton2.setContentAreaFilled(false);
        jButton2.setDebugGraphicsOptions(javax.swing.DebugGraphics.BUFFERED_OPTION);
        jButton2.setDoubleBuffered(true);
        jButton2.setFocusPainted(false);
        jButton2.addActionListener(new java.awt.event.ActionListener() {
            public void actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
                jButton2ActionPerformed(evt);
            }
        });
 
        getContentPane().add(jButton2);
        jButton2.setBounds(30, 10, 40, 40);
 
 

So instead of creating JButton objects if I create RoundButton objects will my code work
( RoundButton � it is a class shown in the link show above)

Hi Sameera,

Here is another workaround..

Use AWT graphics object and create a button on ur own. I mean instead of using JButton, create a round figure with bevel effect which will look similar to a JButton and then using MouseMove and mosueClick method and verifying the co-ordinates , u can simulate the click action.

this will give you 100% round button without any invisible square areas ..
