Hello,
I am creating a GUI in Java and would like to make buttons that behave
like radio buttons but look like regular JButtons. That is, I would
like for there to be a button group of three rectangular buttons, with
one of them always selected (and displayed differently as the other
to). When another button is clicked, I would like to unselect the
previous one and select the current one.
The closest thing that I have seen to do this is to play around with
the icons that are used for radio buttons (although I don't think that
java lets me add new text to these images). It seems like there should
be a simpler way of doing this, though.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

There is. If you use JToggleButtons and add them to a ButtonGroup, they will
look like JButtons and act like JRadioButtons.
