Class RolloverButtonAdapter

java.lang.Object
  com.mucommander.ui.button.RolloverButtonAdapter

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.awt.event.MouseListener, java.util.EventListener

public class RolloverButtonAdapter
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.awt.event.MouseListener

This class allows to add a rollover effect to a JButton. Rollover-enabled buttons have no borders by default. It is only when the mouse cursor is over the button that the button's borders get painted. This rollover effect gives the user a visual indication that the button can be pressed (in other words, that the button is indeed a button), while not cluttering the interface with button borders. Such buttons are particularly effective for toolbars, where a large number of buttons are usually present.

To 'rollover-enable' a button, the setButtonDecoration(javax.swing.JButton) method must first be called to set decoration properties. Then, the button must register an instance of RolloverButtonAdapter as a mouse listener. Note that a single RolloverButtonAdapter instance can be registered with several buttons.
