    public ButtonOnButton() {
        setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        setBounds(100, 100, 450, 300);
        contentPane = new JPanel();
         GridLayout gl = new GridLayout(1,0); // the button is in entire screen now and i want to put the "secondButton" on this red button.
        contentPane.setLayout(gl);
        contentPane.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(5, 5, 5, 5));
        firstButton = new JButton(""); // 
        secondButton = new JButton("");
        firstButton.setDisabledIcon(new ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("meeple.jpg"))); // disabled icon
        firstButton.setEnabled(false);
        secondButton.setBackground(Color.blue);
        
        contentPane.add(firstButton);
        firstButton.add(secondButton);
        setContentPane(contentPane);
// it work with button enabled, but diswork with button disabled and setDisabledIcon 
//sorry for my english bad i hope sincerly you understand( here decipher ).
    }

}

I want to put a Jbutton on a Jbutton i.e The JButton is setEnabledFalse and have a DisabledIcon and has another button on top (in the link it is blue)

CodePudding user response：

This seems to be a quirk of the button. In order to display a disabled icon you also need to provide the button with a regular icon.

In your example you only care about the disabled state so you can share the Icon:

    ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("meeple.jpg"));
    firstButton.setIcon(icon); 
    firstButton.setDisabledIcon(icon);
