I would like to have a buttons in Java which shows the arrows - like on the keyboard. So far I have this
JButton arrowUp = new JButton("^");
JButton arrowDown = new JButton("v");
JButton arrowLeft = new JButton("<");
JButton arrowRight = new JButton(">");
It kinda works ... but does not look quite nice.
Any help how to improve this is appreciated
Swing has a default arrow button class that is BasicArrowButton
Example:
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Arrow Button Demo");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
frame.add(new BasicArrowButton(BasicArrowButton.EAST), BorderLayout.EAST);
frame.add(new BasicArrowButton(BasicArrowButton.NORTH), BorderLayout.NORTH);
frame.add(new BasicArrowButton(BasicArrowButton.SOUTH), BorderLayout.SOUTH);
frame.add(new BasicArrowButton(BasicArrowButton.WEST), BorderLayout.WEST);
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
