Buttons for Foil 32
A Button is the familiar way to allow a user to cause an event and is created with a String to label it
  • Button button1 = new Button("Click here");
  • add (button1);
Buttons are normally created to appear in the style of the user's windowing system, except that you can control the color of the button and the String
  • button1.setBackground (Color.cyan);
  • button1.setForeground (Color.black);
