Change button size on click

[dvreed77]

Hello,

I am trying to create a pretty specific datepicker and am having some problems.

I have create a JPanel which has several buttons arranged vertically representing specific months that I need in the MM format (ie. 10 - for October).

What I want is when the user clicks the button, the button expands vertically down to show the MMMM format (ie. October) which since the button expanded vertically would be rotate 90 degrees (which is a problem I still haven't tackled yet).

I have successfully registered actions which change the background and foreground color of the button, but trying to change the size isn't working.

I have include the code below.

Thanks for any help.

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
