Thread: Mimicking a JButton Click

Hi,
I have calss JPButton that extends JButton. It basically is a graphical button that shifts 1 pixel to the right and down when mousePressed(), and shifts back when mouseReleased(). Both of those functions are Overriden obviously. The question I have is that I'm trying to have a keypress mimick the Mouse action. I attempted to do this by Overriding doClick(). Doesn't seem to work. Is there a preferred way to do this?

public void doButtonDown()
{
	setBounds(getBounds().x+1,getBounds().y+1,getWidth(), getHeight());
	repaint();
}
 
public void doButtonUp()
{
	setBounds(getBounds().x-1,getBounds().y-1,getWidth(), getHeight());
	repaint();
}
 
@Override
public void doClick()
{
	if (isEnabled())
	{
		doButtonDown();
		try
		{
			Thread.sleep(500L);
		}
		catch (InterruptedException e)
		{
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		doButtonUp();
	}
}
 
@Override
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e)
{
	if (isEnabled())
	{
		doButtonDown();
	}
}
 
@Override
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e)
{
	if (isEnabled())
	{
		doButtonUp();
	}
}

Got it to work by doing the following:

    @Override  
    public void doClick()   
    {   
        if (isEnabled())   
        {   
            setBounds(getBounds().x+1,getBounds().y+1,getWidth(), getHeight());   
            paintImmediately(0,0,getWidth(), getHeight());   
            try {   
                Thread.currentThread();   
                Thread.sleep(100);   
            } catch(InterruptedException ie) {   
            }   
            setBounds(getBounds().x-1,getBounds().y-1,getWidth(), getHeight());   
            paintImmediately(0,0,getWidth(), getHeight());   
        }   
    }   
 
    @Override  
    public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e)   
    {   
        if (isEnabled())   
        {   
            setBounds(getBounds().x+1,getBounds().y+1,getWidth(), getHeight());   
            repaint();   
        }   
    }   
 
    @Override  
    public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e)   
    {   
        if (isEnabled())   
        {   
            setBounds(getBounds().x-1,getBounds().y-1,getWidth(), getHeight());   
            repaint();   
        }   
    }  
	@Override
	public void doClick()
	{
		if (isEnabled())
		{
			setBounds(getBounds().x+1,getBounds().y+1,getWidth(), getHeight());
	        paintImmediately(0,0,getWidth(), getHeight());
	        try {
	            Thread.currentThread();
				Thread.sleep(100);
	        } catch(InterruptedException ie) {
	        }
			setBounds(getBounds().x-1,getBounds().y-1,getWidth(), getHeight());
	        paintImmediately(0,0,getWidth(), getHeight());
		}
	}
 
	@Override
	public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e)
	{
		if (isEnabled())
		{
			setBounds(getBounds().x+1,getBounds().y+1,getWidth(), getHeight());
			repaint();
		}
	}
 
	@Override
	public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e)
	{
		if (isEnabled())
		{
			setBounds(getBounds().x-1,getBounds().y-1,getWidth(), getHeight());
			repaint();
		}
	}
