i was wundering if a JButton can be set to Enabled(false) and give it a background color...

also is it possible to give a JButton a background color at all? if so please give example :)

Bimz

There are methods to do those things. Have you read the API doc for the JButton class?

One way to do what you want is to swap the JButton's icon and rather than disable the JButton, disable its ActionListener (have an if block that calls return if you want the button to not do anything).

hmmmm....
you can set the background of JButton in both cases when JButton is enabled or disabled...
try this....

buttonname.setBackground(Color.RED);
