Show the clicking visual effect of a JButton inside a JComboBox

Question

I have created a JComboBox with a custom ListCellRenderer (a JButton) as below:

JButton b1 = new JButton("One");
JButton b2 = new JButton("Two");
JButton b3 = new JButton("Three");

JButton[] buttonList = {b1, b2, b3};

JComboBox box = new JComboBox(buttonList);
box.setRenderer(new CellRenderer());
//...


/**************** Custom Cell Renderer Class ****************/
class CellRenderer implements ListCellRenderer {

        public Component getListCellRendererComponent(JList list, Object value, int index,
                boolean isSelected, boolean cellHasFocus) {            
            JButton button = (JButton) value;
            return button;           
}

I have set button actions separately and all are works fine except when I am clicking a button from the combo box it doesn't shows the button clicking visual effect.

How to show the clicking visual effect of a JButton inside a JComboBox?

1) I think you'll find those buttons do not act as `ActionListener` instances. 2) For better help sooner, post an [SSCCE](http://sscce.org/). — Andrew Thompson, Jan 24 '13 at 05:20
