Help--- JButton background color Posted by mollie on 24 Feb 2011 at 7:44 AM

I have a JButton that when it is pressed, the background color of it changes. My problem now is how can I change it to its original color when it is pressed again? Here is my code so far..

JButton f= new JButton("G");
	f.setBounds(62, 84, 45, 30);
	f.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
	{
		public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
			f.setBackground(Color.CYAN);
		}});

Hey,
Use couple of variables to keep track of prior background color, ie.

            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
                if (firstTime) {
                    priorColor = Color.CYAN;
                    firstTime = false;
                }
                holdPriorColor = f.getBackground();
                f.setBackground(priorColor);
                priorColor = holdPriorColor;
            }

regards, se52
