JButton with action and icon but no text

[zeb]

Hi, I'm doing the bog standard text editor thing and want to make a toolbar that uses actions that I have already defined in the menus. The menus have actions, such as:

cutAction = new DefaultEditorKit.CutAction();

and I'm using the Sun code to create an imageicon for the button, but the button keeps on having the text from the action on it as well, which I don't want. My button code is:

ImageIcon copyIcon = createImageIcon ("images/copy.gif", "Copy"); // createImageIcon is a method 'borrowed' from Sun
copyButton = new JButton("");
copyButton.setText("");
copyButton.setAction(copyAction);
copyButton.setIcon(copyIcon);
copyButton.setMnemonic(KeyEvent.VK_C);
copyButton.setToolTipText("Copy selected text");
toolBar.add(copyButton);

Any ideas on how to prevent the text 'Copy_to_clipboard' appearing on the button with the imageicon?

TIA

I am not too sure if this will solve your problem, but I have two ideas:
Firstly, you are sure that the text isn´t part of the image? silly question but must be asked.
Secondly, try moving your setText("") down a few lines, just before toolBar.add() method. or try use a different constructor: ImageIcon copyIcon = createImageIcon ("images/copy.gif");
I am not sure if this will solve your problem but I can´t see where else the problem is coming from.
Does the text still show if there is no image on the button?
