image as background fot buttons

[Raywall]

I want to set an image as background for a button without using swing.I've never seen an example but I tryed something and unfortunally the imageUpdate method returns true() and this means that the image is not loaded yet.
Please tell me what's wrong with the code below.
I wrote the code in a class that extends Frame:

Button testButton  = new Button();
ImageProducer imgproducer;
BufferedImage img;
try{
	
img = ImageIO.read(new File("D:\\18.jpg"));
}catch(IOException e){}
imgproducer=img.getSource();
testButton.prepareImage(img,100,100,this);
testButton.imageUpdate(img,ALLBITS,0,0,100,100);

Because for the moment I don't know swing and I had to find out the thing with the image when I posted this.
By the way, why don't you have an english version for your page( if you don't mind asking)?

Because Stefan is German maybe ?!!!
Do you have a website in German ?!!!

Good point I've noticed that Stefan is german, but let's think a little bet about the concept of www. It means world wide web.
We don't use cwb (country wide web) so what's so wrong in using a language like english so that everyone would understand?
If I would have posted my question in romanian then Stefan would have replied with something nice like "What the hell did you typed here??? I don't understand a thing!!!"
When you make a personal page you guess that someone would be interested in visiting it.How can I do this if I don't understand german?
Whatever, I said >>>>"if you don't mind asking"
I'm sorry for your reaction, but I was a little bet frustrated when I've entered his page and that's why I've asked him....
If you feel uncofortable with my posts then I won't post anymore and thats it.
Thank you for your time anyway sedj.

Chill fella - its all friendly round here !

We all know that English is in effect the defacto langauge of the web, as with international law, airline control systems, international shipping and many other things - but it doesn't mean we should expect it, thats all I was saying ...

Yeah I guess I had too much cofee for today and that's why your post seemed to me a little agressive. but maybe I was wrong.
Sorry for the previous post.

Well - we started more or less off topic - Java (Sun) would have been a better forum - let's continue off topic.

A world-wide-web needn't be a one-language-net.
For historic reasons, - it grew fastest in the US, and had most of it's roots there, and only few in europe - english is the first language in the net.
But wait few years, and you get asked, why you don't have a chinese webpage.
Or indian.

My actual link points to a german page, because I would prefer a job in germany, and aren't going for a job in Sweden, GB, Italy or Argentina.
Well - Brasil perhaps

If you would have went a step up you would have seen, that most pages are either english, or alternative en/de/(fr).

I hope I can soon remove the link to 'seeking job'.

To your question:

ImageIcon ii = new ImageIcon ("./18.jpg");
JButton testButton = new JButton (ii);

is the swing-way - don't know whether it works in AWT the same.
