How to make a JButton not selected after clicking it?

Question

I have been created a delete button which delete some text from text field. But when I click this button and delete the text the button still selected. I want to deselect this button after clicking it.

I tried this code but it doesn't work

 private void jToggleButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
    jTextField2.setText("");
    jCheckBox1.setSelected(false);
    jTextField4.setText("");
    jTextField5.setText("");
    jTextField6.setText("");
    jButton1.setSelected(false);
}

You want to disable the button or return focus back to the field? Oh and I don't think a JToggleButton is what you wan to use... — MadProgrammer, Feb 08 '15 at 06:32

So, based on jToggleButton1ActionPerformed, I suspect you are using a JToggleButton, which has two states, selected and unselected, which probably isn't what you want.

Instead, just use a JButton

jTextFieldN.requestFocusInWindow();

Be sure to read the Java Docs for the method..

Also, as mentioned elsewhere you'll need a JButton rather than JToggleButton for this.
