[java] Creating new Swing Classes
Does anyone know of a good tutorial in creating your own swing components? I''ve had a bit of a play and can draw with the graphics stuff on it but I wanted to be able to tell when someone''s clicked on it (like a button lowers when clicked on) and if there are any general guidelines
Thanks alot

Hello, I''m not entirely sure if this is the best way to do it but: why don''t you just create a subclass of say a JButton and have that class implement the MouseListener Interface. So when the user clicks on your button it will fire a mouse event that you can handle.
Example:
I''ve used this method myself and it seems to work well for me, at least. However I haven''t used it on a JButton. (mostly JFrame and JPanel).
So, I hope this was at least a little helpful.
If anyone else has a better solution, I would be glad to see it.
Cheers, JP.

Example:
import javax.swing.*;import java.awt.event.*;public class MyButton extends JButton implements MouseListener { public MyButton() { addMouseListener(this); // init } public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) { // your component has been clicked, do something } public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) { // the mouse is being pressed in your component } public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) { // mouse released } public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {} public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) {}}
