Note
AbstractButton
has a deprecated
label
property. You should use the equivalent
text
property instead.
One property worth mentioning is
multiClickThreshhold
. This property represents a time,
in milliseconds. If a button is selected with a mouse multiple times within this time period,
additional action events won't be generated. By default, the value is zero, meaning each press
generates an event. To avoid accidental duplicate submissions from happening in important
dialogs, set this value to some reasonable level above zero.

Tip
Keep in mind that all
AbstractButton
children can use HTML with its
text
property to display
HTML content within the label. Just prefix the property setting with the string
<html>
.
ButtonModel/Class DefaultButtonModel Interface

ButtonModel
interface is used to describe the current state of the
AbstractButton
component.
In addition, it describes the set of event listeners objects that are supported by all the different
AbstractButton
children. Its definition follows:
