implements ButtonModel, Serializable

Safe: 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 JavaBeansTM has been added to the java.beans package. Please see java.beans.XMLEncoder.

SELECTED

public static final int SELECTED
Enabled: Indicates that the button has been selected. Only needed for certain types of buttons - such as RadioButton or Checkbox.

true if the button is selected

isEnabled

true if the mouse is over the button

setArmed

public void setArmed(boolean b)

getListeners

public EventListener[] getListeners(Class listenerType)
Suppressed: 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
