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.

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

actionCommand - the String that identifies the generated event

 

getActionCommand

public String getActionCommand()

Returns the action command for this button.

Returns:

true if the mouse is over the button

 

setArmed

public void setArmed(boolean b)

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
