How do I insert a clickable, transparent field over a rectangular area?












0














I'm trying to locate a clickable field over the rounded rectangles displaying "Play" and "Exit" to activate other code using ActionListener and can't quite figure it out. The location of the buttons in the Start Up Menu are:



g.setColor(GELD);
g.fillRoundRect(5 * width/8, 3 * height/4 - 40, width/4, 80, 40,40);
g.fillRoundRect(5 * width/8, height/2-40, width/4, 80, 40,40);


With GELD being a final const, width being panel width, height being panel height. All of these are properly used in the code previously.

  • Have a look at the java.awt.Rectangle class, which has methods for detecting if a point falls within in. A neat side effect is, you can use the class to paint with, via the Graphics2D#fill(Shape) method

  • Why not just use appropriately configured buttons (is this Swing based)?
