Hi All,

Is it possible to change the shape of a JButton/Button to be Round?
Could you please send me sample Code.

Regards
Naveen

What you have to do is create your own button class which extends from jbutton or button.

**) After that you can simply override the paint method(create your own) and draw the actual thing you want the button to look like. Could be round or anything. You'll need to have some skill though. After some time it won't be much of a problem..

Otherwise unless you use some new package (which is not found in the api) you better stick to the **) method

Well you don't have to create your own button class. You could try something like this:



It depends on what you want to do.

Try this OvalButton class I wrote.
It provides methods for setting button colours, borders, border thickness, and also the shape of the button: oval, circle, capsule.

Additionally, you can use image as the background that will only show within the shape's borders - simply override getBackgroundImage() method.

You can see some examples here.
