how to add a round border to a jradiobutton

Question

Hi I need to add a Round Border, that could be etched, beveled etc. for a JRadioButton. to allow the button to keep its round appearance.

but i cannot find any round borders.

does anyone know how to do this? chis

Answer 1

You can implement the Border interface, using drawRoundRect() or drawOval() in paintBorder().

Answer 2

thanks thats one option, but im trying not to add my own implementation, as that would then limit reusability of the software by others.

i currently had JRadioButton.setBorder(new EchtedBorder(..)); JRadioBUtton.setBorderPainted(true); //to make it actually be drawn for the radiobutton.

but it then appears square, with the default radiobutton (thats round) inside.

I wondered if there was ay way to get the radiobutton to obay its natural roundness?
