Button

[Maha Pratap]

Hey,
Does JButton object recognise item events?, 'coz in my application I want to have a button which should display some results depending upon the state of the button(selected or deselected). I know I can use check box instead of button but ... could some one help me in clearing my fundas? ... thanks ..

hi!
the jbutton has built-in functions for the same.
eg.
jbutton go = new JButton();
then you have methods to set the icon of the image according to the event:
eg
go.setSelectedIcon(Icon);
go.setRolloverIcon(Icon);
go.setPressedIcon(Icon);
and so on... check the java documentation for a full list of methods...
hope this helps...

Hey meera,
When I say "display" some results , I mean to say that some other check boxes should change state according to the state of the button and not exactly *display * some icons or images.. Thanks ..
