Class DefaultButtonModel

java.lang.Object
  javax.swing.DefaultButtonModel

All Implemented Interfaces:

ButtonModel, ItemSelectable, Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:

JToggleButton.ToggleButtonModel

public class DefaultButtonModel

extends Object

implements ButtonModel, Serializable

The default implementation of a Button component's data model.

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

DefaultButtonModel

public DefaultButtonModel()

Constructs a default JButtonModel.

Method Detail

setActionCommand

public void setActionCommand(String actionCommand)

Sets the actionCommand string that gets sent as part of the event when the button is pressed.

Specified by:

setActionCommand in interface ButtonModel

Parameters:

actionCommand - the String that identifies the generated event

getActionCommand

public String getActionCommand()

Returns the action command for this button.

Specified by:

getActionCommand in interface ButtonModel

Returns:

the String that identifies the generated event

See Also:

setActionCommand(java.lang.String)

isArmed

public boolean isArmed()

Indicates partial commitment towards pressing the button.

Specified by:

isArmed in interface ButtonModel

Returns:

true if the button is armed, and ready to be pressed

See Also:

setArmed(boolean)

isSelected

public boolean isSelected()

Indicates if the button has been selected. Only needed for certain types of buttons - such as RadioButton or Checkbox.

Specified by:

isSelected in interface ButtonModel

Returns:

true if the button is selected

isEnabled

public boolean isEnabled()

Indicates whether the button can be selected or pressed by an input device (such as a mouse pointer). (Checkbox-buttons are selected, regular buttons are "pressed".)

Specified by:

isEnabled in interface ButtonModel

Returns:

true if the button is enabled, and therefore selectable (or pressable)

isPressed

public boolean isPressed()

Indicates whether button has been pressed.

Specified by:

isPressed in interface ButtonModel

Returns:

true if the button has been pressed

isRollover

public boolean isRollover()

Indicates that the mouse is over the button.

Specified by:

isRollover in interface ButtonModel

Returns:

true if the mouse is over the button

setArmed

public void setArmed(boolean b)

Marks the button as "armed". If the mouse button is released while it is over this item, the button's action event fires. If the mouse button is released elsewhere, the event does not fire and the button is disarmed.

Specified by:

setArmed in interface ButtonModel

Parameters:

b - true to arm the button so it can be selected

setEnabled

public void setEnabled(boolean b)

Enables or disables the button.

Specified by:

setEnabled in interface ButtonModel

Parameters:

b - true to enable the button

See Also:

isEnabled()

setSelected

public void setSelected(boolean b)

Selects or deselects the button.

Specified by:

setSelected in interface ButtonModel

Parameters:

b - true selects the button, false deselects the button

setPressed

public void setPressed(boolean b)

Sets the button to pressed or unpressed.

setRollover

public void setRollover(boolean b)

Sets or clears the button's rollover state

Specified by:

See Also:

EventListenerList

getListeners

public EventListener[] getListeners(Class listenerType)

Returns an array of all the objects currently registered as FooListeners upon this model. FooListeners are registered using the addFooListener method.

You can specify the listenerType argument with a class literal, such as FooListener.class. For example, you can query a DefaultButtonModel instance m for its action listeners with the following code:

ActionListener[] als = (ActionListener[])(m.getListeners(ActionListener.class));

If no such listeners exist, this method returns an empty array.

Parameters:

listenerType - the type of listeners requested; this parameter should specify an interface that descends from java.util.EventListener

Returns:

an array of all objects registered as FooListeners on this model, or an empty array if no such listeners have been added

Throws:

ClassCastException - if listenerType doesn't specify a class or interface that implements java.util.EventListener

Since:

1.3
