Hi,
I have somehow figured out how to have an image as a button ...but the image seems to be a bit big...so Im trying to reduce the size of it....any helps???the code is below:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
/*<applet code=imagebutn.class width=500 height=500>
</applet>*/
public class imagebutn extends JApplet implements ActionListener
{
Container c=getContentPane();
JLabel l=new JLabel("type");
JTextField t=new JTextField(10);
Icon i=new ImageIcon("doggy1.gif");
JButton b=new JButton(i);
public void init()
{
c.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
c.add(l);
c.add(t);
c.add(b);
b.addActionListener(this);
}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent a)
{
l.setText(t.getText());
}
}

 JButton b = new JButton();

    public void init() {
        c.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
        c.add(l);
        c.add(t);
        b.setIcon(i);
        b.setSize(i.getIconWidth(),i.getIconHeight());
        c.add(b);
        b.addActionListener(this);
    }

Hi Chicon,
thanks for the replies.I have incorporated the statements that you had mentioned, in my code.But how do I compile/interpret it?Where do I need to specify the values for height & width?

[Chicon]

I'm afraid I don't understand your question.
I guess you have to compile the program in the way you're used to.

Hi,
This is the issue.I normally compile as below:
javac imagebutn.java
appletviewer imagebutn.java

Now where do I give the values for height & width so that I can set the size of the icon?Hope you got my problem?
Thanks,
Cali

You don't need to manually set the size of the icon.
In your command : Icon i = new ImageIcon("doggy1.gif");, i will get the size of the picture 'doggy1.gif'.
