Java Multi-Modes Button

[Enock Banacson]

How can I make a button to do different events,
Say my Button text is 3jk and I want it display 3 on my text area when clicked once, display j on doble click and k clicking it three times.

Actually, I don't believe button can detect how many click, simply because you can't double-click a button.
You can however do a loop base, the first click, display one value, then next value, then next value.

You can also use addMouseListener() to get a MouseEvent for each click - this has a getClickCount() method which can be useful for detecting double clicks. As I recall you may need to look at the elapsed time between two clicks to decide if they're really "close enough" to count as a double click. There may well be a better way, but I don't know it.
