ImageObserver
,ItemSelectable
,MenuContainer
,Serializable
,Accessible
,SwingConstants
Buttons can be configured, and to some degree controlled, by
Action
s. 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.
Warning: Swing is not thread safe. For more information see Swing's Threading Policy.
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
has been added to the java.beans
package.

setBorderPaintedFlat
@BeanProperty(visualUpdate=true, description="Whether the border is painted flat.") public void setBorderPaintedFlat(boolean b) Sets theborderPaintedFlat
property, which gives a hint to the look and feel as to the appearance of the check box border. This is usually set totrue
when aJCheckBox
instance is used as a renderer in a component such as aJTable
orJTree
. The default value for theborderPaintedFlat
property isfalse
. This method fires a property changed event. Some look and feels might not implement flat borders; they will ignore this property.- Parameters:
b
-true
requests that the border be painted flat;false
requests normal borders- Since:
- 1.3

in classJToggleButton
- Returns:
- a string representation of this JCheckBox.
-
getAccessibleContext
@BeanProperty(bound=false, expert=true, description="The AccessibleContext associated with this CheckBox.") public AccessibleContext getAccessibleContext()Gets the AccessibleContext associated with this JCheckBox. For JCheckBoxes, the AccessibleContext takes the form of an AccessibleJCheckBox. A new AccessibleJCheckBox instance is created if necessary.- Specified by:
getAccessibleContext
