Constructor Details

Button

public Button()
Initializes a new instance of Button with no label.
Throws:
HeadlessException - If GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless() returns true

Button

public Button(String label)
Initializes a new instance of Button with the specified label. The action command name is also initialized to this value.
Parameters:
label - The label to display on the button.
Throws:
HeadlessException - If GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless() returns true

Method Details

addActionListener

public void addActionListener(ActionListener listener)
Adds a new entry to the list of listeners that will receive action events from this button.
Parameters:
listener - The listener to add.

addNotify

public void addNotify()
Notifies this button that it should create its native peer object.
Overrides:

extends EventListener> T[] getListeners

public extends EventListener> T[] getListeners(Class listenerType)
Returns all registered EventListers of the given listenerType. listenerType must be a subclass of EventListener, or a ClassClassException is thrown.
Overrides:
extends EventListener> T[] getListeners in interface Component
Parameters:
listenerType - the listener type to return
Returns:
an array of listeners
Throws:
ClassCastException - If listenerType doesn't specify a class or interface that implements @see java.util.EventListener.
Since:
1.3

getAccessibleContext

public AccessibleContext getAccessibleContext()
Gets the AccessibleContext associated with this Button. The context is created, if necessary.
Specified by:
getAccessibleContext in interface Accessible
Overrides:

Returns:
the associated context

getActionCommand

public String getActionCommand()
Returns the action command name for this button.
Returns:
The action command name for this button.

processEvent

protected void processEvent(AWTEvent event)
Processes an event for this button. If the specified event is an instance of ActionEvent, then the processActionEvent() method is called to dispatch it to any registered listeners. Otherwise, the superclass method will be invoked. Note that this method will not be called at all unless ActionEvent's are enabled. This will be done implicitly if any listeners are added.
Overrides:
processEvent in interface Component
Parameters:
event - The event to process.

removeActionListener

public void removeActionListener(ActionListener listener)
Removes the specified listener from the list of listeners that will receive action events from this button.
Parameters:
listener - The listener to remove.

setActionCommand

public void setActionCommand(String actionCommand)
Sets the action command name for this button to the specified value.
