public class JXHyperlink
extends JButton

A hyperlink component that derives from JButton to provide compatibility mostly for binding actions enabled/disabled behavior accesilibity i18n etc...

This button has visual state related to a notion of "clicked": foreground color is unclickedColor or clickedColor depending on its boolean bound property clicked being false or true, respectively. If the hyperlink has an action, it guarantees to synchronize its "clicked" state to an action value with key LinkAction.VISITED_KEY. Synchronization happens on setAction() and on propertyChange notification from the action. JXHyperlink accepts any type of action - AbstractHyperlinkAction is a convenience implementation to simplify clicked control.

 
      LinkAction linkAction = new LinkAction("http://swinglabs.org") {
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                doSomething(getTarget());
                setVisited(true);
            }
      };
      JXHyperlink hyperlink = new JXHyperlink(linkAction);
  

The hyperlink can be configured to always update its clicked property after firing the actionPerformed:

 
      JXHyperlink hyperlink = new JXHyperlink(action);
      hyperlink.setOverrulesActionOnClick(true);
  

By default, this property is false. The hyperlink will auto-click only if it has no action. Developers can change the behaviour by overriding isAutoSetClicked();

Method Detail

getUnclickedColor

public Color getUnclickedColor()

Returns the foreground color for unvisited links.

Returns:

Color for the hyper link if it has not yet been clicked.

setClickedColor

public void setClickedColor(Color color)

Sets the color for the previously not visited link. This value will override the one set by the "JXHyperlink.unclickedColor" UIManager property and defaults.

Parameters:

color - Color for the hyper link if it has not yet been clicked.

public Color getClickedColor()

Returns the foreground color for visited links.

Returns:

Color for the hyper link if it has already been clicked.

Parameters:

color - Color for the hyper link if it has already been clicked.

setClicked

public void setClicked(boolean clicked)

Sets the clicked property and updates visual state depending on clicked. This implementation updated the foreground color.

NOTE: as with all button's visual properties, this will not update the backing action's "visited" state.

Parameters:

clicked - flag to indicate if the button should be regarded as having been clicked or not.

See Also:

isClicked()

isClicked

Creates and returns a listener that will watch the changes of the provided Action and will update JXHyperlink's properties accordingly.

Overrides:

createActionPropertyChangeListener in class AbstractButton

Parameters:
