Hi Chris,

Try this, it will get you started anyhow, from some code I have here....Ike

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

public class JTASToggleButton extends JToggleButton {
   public boolean pressed;
   /** Creates a new instance of JTASToggleButton */
   public JTASToggleButton() {
       super();
       addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter(){
           //the following functions not needed since this is an adapter
class:
           public void mousePressed(MouseEvent Me){
               pressed=!pressed;
               if(pressed)
                   setForeground(Color.MAGENTA);
               else
                   setForeground(Color.BLACK);
           }
                   });
   }

}
