Hi,
There's a number of ways to deal with this problem:
1. Write an anonymous class that overides paintComponent() in the JCheckBox.
2. Write an explicit class that extends JCheckBox and overrides paintComponent().
3. Write a class that extends BasicCheckBoxUI and overrides paintFocus(). Tell the UIManager to use this class for all JCheckBoxes.
Which method should you use?
1 if there is only one JCheckBox in the whole application that you wish to have this functionality. (I personally prefer not to use anonymous classes).
2 if there is a number of places you need this behaviour.
3 If you would like every instance of JCheckBox (even its subclasses) to have this functionality.
Hope that helps,
Muel.
