Java Swing Create LinkButton

You all are aware of JButtons, JRadioButtons, JToggleButtons and you have used these components in your applications. Here we are going to create a Link Button that will allow you to move to another page very easily. For this, we have used html code to display the text in a standard way.

Here is the code:

import java.awt.*;
import java.net.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class LinkButton {
	public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
		final URI uri = new URI("http://www.roseindia.net");
		JFrame frame = new JFrame("Link");
		frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
		frame.setSize(300, 100);
		Container container = frame.getContentPane();
		container.setLayout(new GridBagLayout());

		JButton button = new JButton();
		button.setText("www.roseindia.net");
		button.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.LEFT);
		button.setBorderPainted(false);
		button.setOpaque(false);
		button.setBackground(Color.lightGray);
		button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
			public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
				if (Desktop.isDesktopSupported()) {
					Desktop desktop = Desktop.getDesktop();
					try {
						desktop.browse(uri);
					} catch (Exception ex) {
					}
				} else {
				}
			}
		});
		container.add(button);
		frame.setVisible(true);
	}
}
