Panel to acts like Button

[Anil Patil]

I wanted to create Panel which will acts like a button.
Like
In panel i ll use labels and textbox, and whole panel should have property of button.

Or in Button, it is possible to put labels and text area

[Campbell Ritchie]

Yes, it is possible to add a text box to a button. Or you can use extends. Or you can have a button occupying the whole of a panel, and set the button to be transparent.

But all those suggestions appear bad design to me; a button is a button, not a text box, and a panel is a panel, not a button.

Hi Ritchie,

Thanks for suggestion, But my requirements are specific.

Can you elaborate more how can add Labels in button, as I am new to Swings/AWT components

[Darryl Burke]

JComponent extends Container, so all JComponent subclasses including JButton can be used (or abused) as a container.
