Hey All, I've been working on this code for a while now, but can't quite come up with a working solution. I'm trying to make a specially designed ImageButton, which extends JButton. Basically, it replaces the regular JButton image with another image. I've figured out everything except this.
Every button made has two states, pressed and not-pressed (ignoring enabled/disabled, etc.) Obviously, for both states, the button image changes. Now I'm working with buttons that are transparent, oddly shaped and change shape when pressed. The issue then is that every time the button is pressed, it leaves an artifact of it's previous state image behind. I'm trying to come up with a way to cover that up, while still retaining the transparency of the image. I tried using the Robot to capture the background and paint it between the artifacts, but that didn't work.
Here's the code:
