Can I disable the "pushed" effect of a button???

Question

I heared I need to extend Button and override paint(),
but how do I override paint() only to disable the "pushed" effect?

Answer 1

Heres an example of how I paint sunken, raised and etched panels.
public void paint(Graphics g)
          switch(DrawObject)
               case SUNKEN: drawSunkenPanel(g); break;
               case RAISED: drawRaisedPanel(g); break;
               case ETCHED: drawEtchedPanel(g); break;
               default: return;
     public void drawSunkenPanel(Graphics g)
          g.setColor(java.awt.Color.darkGray);
               //inner left hand side
               g.drawLine( (getInsets().left + 1), getInsets().top, (getInsets().left + 1), (getBounds().height - 2) );
               //inner top
               g.drawLine(getInsets().left, (getInsets().top + 1), (getBounds().width - 2), (getInsets().top + 1) );
          g.setColor(java.awt.Color.gray);
               //far left hand side
               g.drawLine(getInsets().left, getInsets().top, getInsets().left, (getBounds().height - 1) );
               //far top          
               g.drawLine(getInsets().left, getInsets().top, (getBounds().width - 1), getInsets().top);
          g.setColor(java.awt.Color.white);
               //far right side
               g.drawLine(     (getBounds().width - 1), 0, (getBounds().width - 1), getBounds().height);
               //far bottom
               g.drawLine(getInsets().left, (getBounds().height - 1), getBounds().width, (getBounds().height - 1) );
          g.setColor(java.awt.Color.lightGray);
               //far right side
               g.drawLine(     (getBounds().width - 2), 1, (getBounds().width - 2), (getBounds().height - 2) );
               //far bottom
               g.drawLine( (getInsets().left + 1), (getBounds().height - 2), (getBounds().width - 2), (getBounds().height - 2) );
     public void drawRaisedPanel(Graphics g)
          g.setColor(java.awt.Color.white);
          g.drawLine(getInsets().left, getInsets().top, getInsets().left, getBounds().height);
          g.drawLine(getInsets().left, getInsets().top, getBounds().width, getInsets().top);
          g.setColor(java.awt.Color.gray);
          g.drawLine(     (getBounds().width - 1), 0, (getBounds().width - 1), getBounds().height);
          g.drawLine(getInsets().left, (getBounds().height - 1), getBounds().width, (getBounds().height - 1) );
     public void drawEtchedPanel(Graphics g)
          g.setColor(java.awt.Color.darkGray);
          int w = getBounds().width - 1; // these are points
          int h = getBounds().height - 1;
          //White lines
          g.setColor(java.awt.Color.white);
               //North side     
               g.drawLine( 1, 1, w, 1);
               //East Side
               g.drawLine( w, 1, w, h);
               //South
               g.drawLine( 1, h, w, h);
               //West
               g.drawLine( 1, 1, 1, h);
          //Gray Lines
          g.setColor(java.awt.Color.gray);
               //North
               g.drawLine( 0, 0, w-1, 0 );
               //East
               g.drawLine( w-1, 0, w-1, h-1);
               //South
               g.drawLine( 0, h-1, w-1, h-1 );
               //west
               g.drawLine( 0, 0, 0, h-1);
