Constructor Detail

Button

public Button()
       throws HeadlessException

Suppressed: Constructs a Button with no label.

Button

public Button(String label)
       throws HeadlessException

Suppressed: Constructs a Button with the specified label.

Parameters:

label - A string label for the button.

See Also:

java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment#isHeadless

Method Detail

initIDs

private static void initIDs()

Initialize JNI field and method IDs for fields that may be accessed from C.

constructComponentName

String constructComponentName()

Construct a name for this component. Called by getName() when the name is null.

Overrides:

constructComponentName in class Component

addNotify

public void addNotify()

Suppressed: Creates the peer of the button. The button's peer allows the application to change the look of the button without changing its functionality.

Overrides:

addNotify in class Component

See Also:

java.awt.Toolkit#createButton(java.awt.Button), java.awt.Component#getToolkit()

getLabel

public String getLabel()

Suppressed: Gets the label of this button.

Returns:

the button's label, or null if the button has no label.

See Also:

java.awt.Button#setLabel

setLabel

public void setLabel(String label)

Suppressed: Sets the button's label to be the specified string.

Parameters:

label - the new label, or null if the button has no label.

See Also:

java.awt.Button#getLabel

setActionCommand

public void setActionCommand(String command)

Suppressed: Sets the command name for the action event fired by this button. By default this action command is set to match the label of the button.

Parameters:

command - A string used to set the button's action command. If the string is null then the action command is set to match the label of the button.

Since:

JDK1.1

See Also:

java.awt.event.ActionEvent

getActionCommand

public String getActionCommand()

Suppressed: Returns the command name of the action event fired by this button. If the command name is null (default) then this method returns the label of the button.

addActionListener

public void addActionListener(ActionListener l)

Suppressed: Adds the specified action listener to receive action events from this button. Action events occur when a user presses or releases the mouse over this button. If l is null, no exception is thrown and no action is performed.

Parameters:

l - the action listener

Since:

JDK1.1

See Also:

removeActionListener(java.awt.event.ActionListener), getActionListeners(), java.awt.event.ActionListener

removeActionListener

public void removeActionListener(ActionListener l)

Suppressed: Removes the specified action listener so that it no longer receives action events from this button. Action events occur when a user presses or releases the mouse over this button. If l is null, no exception is thrown and no action is performed.

Parameters:

l - the action listener

Since:

JDK1.1

See Also:

addActionListener(java.awt.event.ActionListener), getActionListeners(), java.awt.event.ActionListener

getActionListeners

public ActionListener[] getActionListeners()

Suppressed: Returns an array of all the action listeners registered on this button.

Returns:

all of this button's ActionListeners or an empty array if no action listeners are currently registered

Since:

1.4

See Also:

addActionListener(java.awt.event.ActionListener), removeActionListener(java.awt.event.ActionListener), java.awt.event.ActionListener

getListeners

public EventListener[] getListeners(Class listenerType)

Suppressed: Returns an array of all the objects currently registered as FooListeners upon this Button. 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 Button b for its action listeners with the following code:

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

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

Overrides:

getListeners in class Component

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 button, or an empty array if no such listeners have been added

Since:

1.3

See Also:

getActionListeners()

eventEnabled

boolean eventEnabled(AWTEvent e)

Overrides:

eventEnabled in class Component

processEvent

protected void processEvent(AWTEvent e)

Processes events on this button. If an event is an instance of ActionEvent, this method invokes the processActionEvent method. Otherwise, it invokes processEvent on the superclass.

Note that if the event parameter is null the behavior is unspecified and may result in an exception.

Overrides:

processEvent in class Component

Parameters:

e - the event

Since:

JDK1.1

See Also:

java.awt.event.ActionEvent, java.awt.Button#processActionEvent

processActionEvent

protected void processActionEvent(ActionEvent e)

Processes action events occurring on this button by dispatching them to any registered ActionListener objects.

This method is not called unless action events are enabled for this button. Action events are enabled when one of the following occurs:

• An ActionListener object is registered via addActionListener.
• Action events are enabled via enableEvents.

Note that if the event parameter is null the behavior is unspecified and may result in an exception.

Parameters:

e - the action event

Since:

JDK1.1

See Also:

java.awt.event.ActionListener, java.awt.Button#addActionListener, java.awt.Component#enableEvents

paramString

protected String paramString()

Returns a string representing the state of this Button. This method is intended to be used only for debugging purposes, and the content and format of the returned string may vary between implementations. The returned string may be empty but may not be null.

Overrides:

paramString in class Component

Returns:

the parameter string of this button

writeObject

private void writeObject(ObjectOutputStream s)
                  throws IOException

Writes default serializable fields to stream. Writes a list of serializable ActionListeners as optional data. The non-serializable ActionListeners are detected and no attempt is made to serialize them.

Parameters:

s - the ObjectOutputStream to write

IOException

See Also:

AWTEventMulticaster.save(ObjectOutputStream, String, EventListener), java.awt.Component.actionListenerK, readObject(java.io.ObjectInputStream)

                        HeadlessException

Reads the ObjectInputStream and if it isn't null adds a listener to receive action events fired by the button. Unrecognized keys or values will be ignored.

Parameters:

s - the ObjectInputStream to read

ClassNotFoundException

IOException

HeadlessException

See Also:

removeActionListener(), addActionListener(), java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment#isHeadless, writeObject(java.io.ObjectOutputStream)

getAccessibleContext

public AccessibleContext getAccessibleContext()

Suppressed: Gets the AccessibleContext associated with this Button. For buttons, the AccessibleContext takes the form of an AccessibleAWTButton. A new AccessibleAWTButton instance is created if necessary.

Specified by:

getAccessibleContext in interface Accessible

Overrides:

getAccessibleContext in class Component

Returns:

an AccessibleAWTButton that serves as the AccessibleContext of this Button
