Making a JButton invisible, but clickable?

Question

How do I make a JButton in java, invisible, but clickable?

button.setVisible(false); 

makes the button invisible, but unclickable, is there any method that makes it invisible, but clickable?

I tried doing:

button.setVisible(false);
button.setEnabled(true);

but that didn't work either. I want to do this because I want to have a button with an image, if I put the invisible JButton over the image, the button will respond when you click the image, or invisible button.

Answer 1

I think you mean transparent, rather than invisible.

This will make a clickable button that is not "visible", i.e. transparent:

button.setOpaque(false);
button.setContentAreaFilled(false);
button.setBorderPainted(false);

This answers your asked question, but if your intent is to make an image clickable, there is a better way for that, too:

ImageIcon myImage = new ImageIcon("images/myImage.jpg");
JButton button = new JButton(myImage);
