The Button is the familiar labeled button object. It inherits most of its functionality from Component. For example, to change the font of the Button, you would use Component's setFont() method. The Button sends java.awt.event.ActionEvent objects to its listeners when it is pressed.
public class java.awt.Button
extends java.awt.Component {
// Constructors
public Button();
public Button (String label);
// Instance Methods
public void addActionListener (ActionListener l); 
public void addNotify();
public String getActionCommand();
public String getLabel();
public void removeActionListener (ActionListener l);
public void setActionCommand (String command);
public synchronized void setLabel (String label);
// Protected Instance Methods
protected String paramString();
protected void processActionEvent (ActionEvent e);
protected void processEvent (AWTEvent e);
