Background color for a JideButton?

[jeremy_c]

Is it possible to set the background color of a JideButton? I have tried setBackground w/no luck.

Thanks,

Jeremy

You can use setBackgroundOfState to set for different states. The setBackground will work too for the normal state only if you call setContentAreaFilled(true).

I've tried:

Code: Select all

                    b.setBackground(new Color(255, 200, 200));
                    b.setBackgroundOfState(1, new Color(200, 200, 255));
                    b.setBackgroundOfState(0, new Color(200, 200, 255));
                    b.setBackgroundOfState(2, new Color(200, 200, 255));
                    b.setContentAreaFilled(true);


w/no luck. What would be a valid value for state? I cannot determine that from the API docs. Thank you very much!

I'll add javadoc for it. The states are defined in ThemePainter. ThemePainter.STATE_DEFAULT, STATE_ROLLOVER, STATE_SELECTED and STATE_PRESSED.

Sorry, setContentAreaFilled should be setOpaque.

Ah! Got it. Thanks. It is in the java docs, I missed it. When you pointed me to ThemePainter, I found it pretty easily. Now looking back, I notice that JideButton implements ComponentStateSupport which will get me to ThemePainter, but it was not obvious at start. Sorry, should have read more.

Everything is working great now, thanks for the quick response!

Just so you know, 2.4.0 is released which adds more javadoc for the methods you have trouble with.

Thanks,
