disableSpace

public void disableSpace()

Disable the Spacebar from activating this component.

select

public void select()

Called when the button is selected. Must override to do something useful.

deselect

public void deselect()

Called when the button is deselected. Must override to do something useful (though not overriding means that nothing will happen when deselected which is often ok).
