@JavaBean(defaultProperty="UIClassID",

public class JToggleButton
extends AbstractButton
implements Accessible

An implementation of a two-state button. The JRadioButton and JCheckBox classes are subclasses of this class. For information on using them see How to Use Buttons, Check Boxes, and Radio Buttons, a section in The Java Tutorial.

Buttons can be configured, and to some degree controlled, by Actions. Using an Action with a button has many benefits beyond directly configuring a button. Refer to Swing Components Supporting Action for more details, and you can find more information in How to Use Actions, a section in The Java Tutorial.

Warning: Swing is not thread safe. For more information see Swing's Threading Policy.

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.

Since:

1.2

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
AccessibleContext	getAccessibleContext()	Gets the AccessibleContext associated with this JToggleButton.
String	getUIClassID()	Returns a string that specifies the name of the l&f class that renders this component.
protected String	paramString()	Returns a string representation of this JToggleButton.
void	requestFocus(FocusEvent.Cause cause)	If this toggle button is a member of the ButtonGroup which has another toggle button which is selected and can be the focus owner, and the focus cause argument denotes window activation or focus traversal action of any direction the result of the method execution is the same as calling Component.requestFocus(FocusEvent.Cause) on the toggle button selected in the group.
boolean	requestFocusInWindow(FocusEvent.Cause cause)	If this toggle button is a member of the ButtonGroup which has another toggle button which is selected and can be the focus owner, and the focus cause argument denotes window activation or focus traversal action of any direction the result of the method execution is the same as calling Component.requestFocusInWindow(FocusEvent.Cause) on the toggle button selected in the group.
void	updateUI()	Resets the UI property to a value from the current look and feel.
