Java focus question

This may be a silly question I don't know.

Is there a way to remove the highlighter to represent focus in a Java GUI?

For example when you cli开发者_Go百科ck on a button the text will have a slight rectangle around the text.

Thank you

I believe you want to remove the set focusable attribute from your items

using setFocusable(false)

That feature is there for a reason because it gives user feedback about which component currently has focus. But if you really must turn it off then you can use:

button.setFocusPainted( false );

As far as I knew one of the selling points of swing when it first appeared was that any GUI element could be completely customised. This might help you out: Custom Swing Controls
