JideSplitButton doesn't appear as pressed

[robpas]

When I have a JideSplitButton with alwaysDropdown == true and I press it to see the menu, the button doesn't show a pressed but rather a rollover state. This wasn't the behaviour with older releases (I used 2.7.7 before).
I traced the change down to revision 1331 of BasicJideSplitButtonUI with the SVN-Comment "Common,B,BasicJideSplitButtonUI,Fixed so that the vertical line will not be painted while selecting the button if JideSplitButton#isAlwaysDropDown() returns true,,no". When I revert this changes, everything works as I expect. I mean, the intention of not showing the vertical line in this case is good, but not showing the button as pressed at all is not a good solution for me.

I'm using the Xerto-Style (if it's relevant).

Thanks for pointing out and track down the issue. We will try to fix it in the next release.

Just so you know, this is fixed in 3.0.4 just released.

Thanks,

Thanks, that works now.

I also realized something different. When you press the Button, the font style (e.g. bold) is preserved, but the foreground color changes to black. Is there a reason for this?

[JIDE Support]

Please invoke JideSplitButton#setBackgroundOfState() to change the foreground color.

Even if I use setForegroundOfState with all states supported by this method (default, rollover, selected, pressed), the text in pressed state is black. Only the dropdown arrow is drawn in the desired color.
The method setForeground seems to set the color for all states, as I would expect.

[JIDE Support]

Yes, please invoke the following code to configure the selection fore ground of JideSplitButton.

Code: Select all

        UIManager.getDefaults().put("JideSplitButton.selectionForeground", yourColor);


Thanks,

Well, that works. But that's kind of using a global setting to solve a local problem. I don't want ALL buttons to use a certain color, but just one.
Why doesn't setForeground[OfState] override the setting from UIManager? I think that's the case in other places.

[JIDE Support]

Will make it happen in next regular release.

Thanks,

Just so you know, this is fixed in 3.1.0 just released.

Now everything works.
Thank you very much!
