Button disable

hello friends

i am using netbeans and i developing an application .. the thing is that when i execute my code then i want to make my few buttons disabled
and that should be done without any button action .. means when programms executes then it must disable some of the buttons initially ....
how to do that plz help !!!!

Look at the API doc for the classes you are using and see it there are any methods to call that will do what you want. Then call those methods when you want them to be executed.

their is a method called setEnabled(false); but that can be done only with the button action in netbeans .. how to make disable before any click when my frame appears for the first time in netbeans
thanks

Call that method before calling the setVisible() method for the frame.

here is my code

public class NewJFrame extends javax.swing.JFrame {

static int count =0;
int cnt=0;
public NewJFrame() {

initComponents();
}

plzz specify where to put to disable Button b1 ,,, because wen i tried it giving error
Thanks

Please Edit your post and wrap your code with[code=java]<YOUR CODE HERE>[/code] to get highlighting

You can call methods on an object any time after you have created an instance of it.
Try adding the call to the method right after an instance is created:
b1 = new ....
b1.setEnabled(false);

Thanx Norm

Actually in Netbeans we usually cannot edit the code that is written in the initComponents(); method so to add that code before any click is not possible .. but i found that we can edit the property in the property window..... there i did and found my solution
Thnx for your support and valuable time :)
