Help setting Component bacground Color !

[Brian Simard]

I am trying to do set the background color of a button as follows!

if (eventHash.containsKey(HashCheck))
{
myButton[i+buttonShift-1].setBackground(Color.blue);
myButton[i+buttonShift-1].repaint();
}

However when i try to run it i get the following messages in my Debug
window :

java.lang.InternalError: getGraphics implemented only for Canvas
Components
at sun.awt.win32.Win32Graphics.<init>(Win32Graphics.java:45)
at sun.awt.win32.MComponentPeer.getGraphics(MComponentPeer.java:185)
at sun.awt.win32.MComponentPeer.handleRepaint(MComponentPeer.java:283)
at sun.awt.win32.MToolkit.run(MToolkit.java:65)

hese messages lead me to believe that I cannot yet set a components
Color !

Please someone tell me it is not so !
(and How to do it !)

Thanks !

I was recently trying to set the background color (and foreground color) of
buttons to something other than their default.

I wasn't using arrays and I didn't get errors, but it just didn't seem to
do anything.

The reason I started messing with this is that under the Mac JVM buttons
paint in the same color as the container that's holding them. They don't
default to grey and it looks stupid. So I was trying to force the buttons
to a specific color.

I was wondering if all this is bugs in AWT, or is a simple setBackground()
or setForeground() call not enough.
