  Returns:
    true if the toggle button is selected, otherwise false

### setSelected

    public void setSelected(boolean b)

  Sets the state of the button. Note that this method does not trigger an `actionEvent`. Call `doClick` to perform a programatic action change.

  Parameters:
    `b` - true if the button is selected, otherwise false

### doClick

    public void doClick()

  Programmatically perform a "click". This does the same thing as if the user had pressed and released the button.

  Returns the action command for this button.

  Returns:
    the action command for this button

### setAction

    public void setAction(Action a)

  Sets the `Action` for the `ActionEvent` source. The new `Action` replaces any previously set `Action` but does not affect `ActionListeners` independently added with `addActionListener`. If the `Action` is already a registered `ActionListener` for the button, it is not re-registered.

  A side-effect of setting the `Action` is that the `ActionEvent` source's properties are immediately set from the values in the `Action` (performed by the method `configurePropertiesFromAction`) and subsequently updated as the `Action`'s properties change (via a `PropertyChangeListener` created by the method `createActionPropertyChangeListener`.

  Parameters:
    `a` - the `Action` for the `AbstractButton`, or `null`
  Since:
    1.3
See Also:
  `Action`, `getAction()`, `configurePropertiesFromAction(javax.swing.Action)`, `createActionPropertyChangeListener(javax.swing.Action)`

### getAction

    public Action getAction()

  Returns the currently set `Action` for this `ActionEvent` source, or `null` if no `Action` is set.

  Returns:
    the `Action` for this `ActionEvent` source, or `null`
  Since:
    1.3
See Also:
  `Action`, `setAction(javax.swing.Action)`

### configurePropertiesFromAction

    protected void configurePropertiesFromAction(Action a)

  Factory method which sets the `ActionEvent` source's properties according to values from the `Action` instance. The properties which are set may differ for subclasses. By default, the properties which get set are `Text, Icon, Enabled, ToolTipText, ActionCommand`, and `Mnemonic`.

  If the `Action` passed in is `null`, the following things will occur:

  - the text is set to `null`,
  - the icon is set to `null`,
  - enabled is set to true,
  - the tooltip text is set to `null`

  Parameters:
    `a` - the `Action` from which to get the properties, or `null`
  Since:
    1.3
See Also:
  `Action`, `setAction(javax.swing.Action)`

### createActionPropertyChangeListener

    protected PropertyChangeListener createActionPropertyChangeListener(Action a)

  Factory method which creates the `PropertyChangeListener` used to update the `ActionEvent` source as properties change on its `Action` instance. Subclasses may override this in order to provide their own `PropertyChangeListener` if the set of properties which should be kept up to date differs from the default properties (`Text, Icon, Enabled, ToolTipText, Mnemonic`).

  Note that `PropertyChangeListeners` should avoid holding strong references to the `ActionEvent` source, as this may hinder garbage collection of the `ActionEvent` source and all components in its containment hierarchy.

  Parameters:
    `a` - the new action for the button
  Since:
    1.3
See Also:
  `Action`, `setAction(javax.swing.Action)`

  See Also:
    `setFocusPainted(boolean)`

### setFocusPainted

    public void setFocusPainted(boolean b)

  Sets the `paintFocus` property, which must be `true` for the focus state to be painted. The default value for the `paintFocus` property is `true`. Some look and feels might not paint focus state; they will ignore this property.

  Parameters:
    `b` - if `true`, the focus state should be painted
  See Also:
    `isFocusPainted()`

### isContentAreaFilled

    public boolean isContentAreaFilled()

  Gets the `contentAreaFilled` property.

    the `contentAreaFilled` property
  See Also:
    `setContentAreaFilled(boolean)`

### setContentAreaFilled

    public void setContentAreaFilled(boolean b)

  Sets the `contentAreaFilled` property. If `true` the button will paint the content area. If you wish to have a transparent button, such as an icon only button, for example, then you should set this to `false`. Do not call `setOpaque(false)`. The default value for the the `contentAreaFilled` property is `true`.

  This function may cause the component's opaque property to change.

  The exact behavior of calling this function varies on a component-by-component and L&F-by-L&F basis.

  Parameters:
    `b` - if true, the content should be filled; if false the content area is not filled
  See Also:
    `isContentAreaFilled()`, `JComponent.setOpaque(boolean)`

### setRolloverEnabled

    public void setRolloverEnabled(boolean b)

  Sets the `rolloverEnabled` property, which must be `true` for rollover effects to occur. The default value for the `rolloverEnabled` property is `false`. Some look and feels might not implement rollover effects; they will ignore this property.

  Parameters:
    `b` - if `true`, rollover effects should be painted
  See Also:
    `isRolloverEnabled()`

### getMnemonic

    public int getMnemonic()

  Returns the keyboard mnemonic from the the current model.

  Returns:
    the keyboard mnemonic from the model

### setMnemonic

    public void setMnemonic(int mnemonic)

  Sets the keyboard mnemonic on the current model. The mnemonic is the key which when combined with the look and feel's mouseless modifier (usually Alt) will activate this button if focus is contained somewhere within this button's ancestor window.

  A mnemonic must correspond to a single key on the keyboard and should be specified using one of the `VK_XXX` keycodes defined in `java.awt.event.KeyEvent`. Mnemonics are case-insensitive, therefore a key event with the corresponding keycode would cause the button to be activated whether or not the Shift modifier was pressed.

  If the character defined by the mnemonic is found within the button's label string, the first occurrence of it will be underlined to indicate the mnemonic to the user. If the corresponding character is not contained within the button's label, then it will be displayed near the label in a look and feel dependent manner (commonly to the right, surrounded by parenthesis).

  Parameters:
    `mnemonic` - the key code which represents the mnemonic
  See Also:
    `KeyEvent`

### setMnemonic

    public void setMnemonic(char mnemonic)

  This method is now obsolete, please use `setMnemonic(int)` to set the mnemonic for a button. This method is only designed to handle character values which fall between 'a' and 'z' or 'A' and 'Z'.

  Parameters:
    `mnemonic` - a char specifying the mnemonic value
  See Also:
    `setMnemonic(int)`

### setDisplayedMnemonicIndex

    public void setDisplayedMnemonicIndex(int index)
                                   throws IllegalArgumentException

  Provides a hint to the look and feel as to which character in the text should be decorated to represent the mnemonic. Not all look and feels may support this. A value of -1 indicates either there is no mnemonic, the mnemonic character is not contained in the string, or the developer does not wish the mnemonic to be displayed.

  The value of this is updated as the properties relating to the mnemonic change (such as the mnemonic itself, the text...). You should only ever have to call this if you do not wish the default character to be underlined. For example, if the text was 'Save As', with a mnemonic of 'a', and you wanted the 'A' to be decorated, as 'Save As', you would have to invoke `setDisplayedMnemonicIndex(5)` after invoking `setMnemonic(KeyEvent.VK_A)`.

  Parameters:
    `index` - Index into the String to underline
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - will be thrown if `index` is >= length of the text, or < -1
  Since:
    1.4
See Also:
  `getDisplayedMnemonicIndex()`

### getDisplayedMnemonicIndex

    public int getDisplayedMnemonicIndex()

  Returns the character, as an index, that the look and feel should provide decoration for as representing the mnemonic character.

  Returns:
    index representing mnemonic character
  Since:
    1.4
See Also:
  `setDisplayedMnemonicIndex(int)`

### setMultiClickThreshhold

    public void setMultiClickThreshhold(long threshhold)

  Sets the amount of time (in milliseconds) required between mouse press events for the button to generate the corresponding action events. After the initial mouse press occurs (and action event generated) any subsequent mouse press events which occur on intervals less than the threshhold will be ignored and no corresponding action event generated. By default the threshhold is 0, which means that for each mouse press, an action event will be fired, no matter how quickly the mouse clicks occur. In buttons where this behavior is not desirable (for example, the "OK" button in a dialog), this threshhold should be set to an appropriate positive value.

  Parameters:
    `threshhold` - the amount of time required between mouse press events to generate corresponding action events
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if threshhold < 0
  Since:
    1.4
