Class DefaultButtonModel

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™ has been added to the java.beans package. Please see XMLEncoder.

Fields

stateMask

protected int stateMask

The bitmask used to store the state of the button.

actionCommand

protected String actionCommand

The action command string fired by the button.

group

protected ButtonGroup group

The button group that the button belongs to.

mnemonic

protected int mnemonic

The button's mnemonic.

changeEvent

protected transient ChangeEvent changeEvent

Only one ChangeEvent is needed per button model instance since the event's only state is the source property. The source of events generated is always "this".

listenerList

protected EventListenerList listenerList

Stores the listeners on this model.

ARMED

public static final int ARMED

Identifies the "armed" bit in the bitmask, which indicates partial commitment towards choosing/triggering the button.

Constant Field Values

SELECTED

public static final int SELECTED

Identifies the "selected" bit in the bitmask, which indicates that the button has been selected. Only needed for certain types of buttons - such as radio button or check box.

Constant Field Values

PRESSED

public static final int PRESSED

Identifies the "pressed" bit in the bitmask, which indicates that the button is pressed.

Constant Field Values

ENABLED
