Class DefaultButtonModel

    java.lang.Object
      javax.swing.DefaultButtonModel

All Implemented Interfaces:
  ItemSelectable, Serializable, ButtonModel

Direct Known Subclasses:
  JToggleButton.ToggleButtonModel

    public class DefaultButtonModel

extends Object
implements ButtonModel, Serializable

The default implementation of a `Button` component's data model.

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 JavaBeansTM has been added to the `java.beans` package. Please see `XMLEncoder`.

Field Summary
`protected String` | `actionCommand` The action command string fired by the button.
`static int` | `ARMED` Identifies the "armed" bit in the bitmask, which indicates partial commitment towards choosing/triggering the button.
`protected ChangeEvent` | `changeEvent` Only one `ChangeEvent` is needed per button model instance since the event's only state is the source property.
`static int` | `ENABLED` Identifies the "enabled" bit in the bitmask, which indicates that the button can be selected by an input device (such as a mouse pointer).
`protected ButtonGroup` | `group` The button group that the button belongs to.
`protected EventListenerList` | `listenerList` Stores the listeners on this model.
`protected int` | `mnemonic` The button's mnemonic.
`static int` | `PRESSED` Identifies the "pressed" bit in the bitmask, which indicates that the button is pressed.
`static int` | `ROLLOVER` Identifies the "rollover" bit in the bitmask, which indicates that the mouse is over the button.
`static int` | `SELECTED` Identifies the "selected" bit in the bitmask, which indicates that the button has been selected.
