Thread: How to implement JCheckBox inside JButton?

I was trying some solutions, and every of them failed. Until now, I had thought that anything is possible in Java. One of my solution, that don't makes compilation warrning and runs (but checkbox is missing anyway) is:

jbuttonjcheckbox.jpg

  class myCheckBox extends JCheckBox implements Icon {
      int w = 20;
 
      public myCheckBox() {
        super();
        setSelected(true);
        setFocusPainted(false);
        setOpaque(false);
        setToolTipText(" close route ");
        addItemListener(new ItemListener() {
           public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent e) {
              if (e.getStateChange() == ItemEvent.SELECTED) { }
           }
        });
      }
 
      public void paintIcon(Component c, Graphics g, int x, int y) { }
 
      public int getIconWidth() { return w; }
      public int getIconHeight() { return w; }
  }

then

  myCheckBox CB = new myCheckBox();
  button.setIcon(CB);

Any tryings of creating own button class with own content manager fails as well. Any ideas to solve this?

Unbelivable easy solution! Thanks.

JCheckBox jcb = new JCheckBox();
button.add(jcb);
