help needed on jbuttons

> I want to control each of them

What do you mean by 'control'?

Is this what you want?

/* event handler for your JButton */

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae){

if (.....){ // check some condition from button

mode = smile;

}

else{

mode = sad;

}

smilie.repaint();

}

I don't see any code related to JButtons. Read the Swing tutorial on [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/button.html]How to Use Buttons[/url].

The posted code won't work because your panel has a size of (10, 10) I believe so none of your custom painting shows up. You need to give the panel a preferred size.

A better solution is to extend Icon and do the custom painting in the icon. Then you can add the icon to a JLabel (or any other Swing component that uses icons) and then add the JLabel to the frame.
