Extending Swing Class - View Properties [message #1844996] Sat, 02 October 2021 12:29 Go to next message

My Swing application uses a lot of extended classes so for enable I have a class called JButton4j which extends JButton. This lets me set certain properties by default and make it easier to adopt a standard look.

If I click on one of my Frames which has an instance of JButton on it I see all the properties. However if I click on a JButton4j then I see very few properties.

See attached.

Is this a known issue, a bug or am I failing to do something myself ?

Your screenshot shows more properties for JButton4j than for the JButton. The screenshot contradicts your text.

Sorry for my bad description - what I should have said was that it has the properties listed in the inspector but many values which I had assumed would be present as they are inherited don't seem to be there.

Sorry for my poor description - I should have said I was confused by the missing values for the properties.

Would the source for the button class help.

public class JButton4j extends JButton {

	private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

	public JButton4j() {
		setFont(Common.font_btn);
	}

	public JButton4j(Icon icon) {
		super(icon);
		setFont(Common.font_btn);
	}

	public JButton4j(String text) {
		super(text);
		setToolTipText(text);
		setFont(Common.font_btn);
	}

	public JButton4j(Action a) {
		super(a);
		setFont(Common.font_btn);
	}

	public JButton4j(String text, Icon icon) {
		super(text, icon);
		setToolTipText(text);
		setFont(Common.font_btn);
	}
	
	@Override
	public void setText(String text)
	{
		super.setText(text);
		setToolTipText(text);
	}

}
