State Model for buttons. This model is used for check boxes and radio buttons, which are special kinds of buttons, as well as for normal buttons. For check boxes and radio buttons, pressing the mouse selects the button. For normal buttons, pressing the mouse "arms" the button. Releasing the mouse over the button then initiates a button press, firing its action event. Releasing the mouse elsewhere disarms the button.
In use, a UI will invoke setSelected(boolean)
when a mouse
click occurs over a check box or radio button. It will invoke
setArmed(boolean)
when the mouse is pressed over a regular
button and invoke setPressed(boolean)
when the mouse is released.
If the mouse travels outside the button in the meantime,
setArmed(false)
will tell the button not to fire
when it sees setPressed
. (If the mouse travels
back in, the button will be rearmed.)
Note:
A button is triggered when it is both "armed" and "pressed".
