[itaipee]

Hi everyone

I'm new in Java and swing, and the GUI concept ,, but I'm learning

I tried implemnt some radio - and event if I select or diselct it ( write TCSH on or off.. ) . but the problem - when ever the mouse is just getting - I get dozen of meseges "TCSH on" or off . what wrong with me ?

checkTCSH.addChangeListener(new ChangeListener() {
				public void stateChanged(ChangeEvent e) {
					if (checkErr.isSelected()) {
						System.out.println("TCSH ON");
						state_TCSH=1;
					}
					else{
						System.out.println("TCSH OFF");
					state_TCSH=1;
				} /* end of if */} /* end of statechange*/ } /*end of changelistener*/ );

Only your doctor and/or girlfriend can answer that, but as for your code...
It's unusual to use a ChangeListener with a button as it detects changes of all the states of the button including (as you're finding out) rollover. It would be far better to use an ActionListener here, something that responds to the button being clicked.

If you are new to Java Swing, it's better look at some examples first of all. Tutorial on Suns' website is really great.

does it work on checkbox - I want it will make action when i selcet and differnet action when de-select it

[itaipee]

well , I tried to change the ChangeListener to ActionListener as detail in the code below
but .. it just do the select option and not the de-select option

checkTCSH is a CheckBox button

checkTCSH.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
				
				public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
					// TODO Auto-generated method stub
					if (checkErr.isSelected()) {
						System.out.println("TCSH ON");
						state_TCSH=1;
					}
					else{
						System.out.println("TCSH OFF");
					state_TCSH=0;
				} /* end of if */
				} } /*end of changelistener*/ );

Its bit confusing, you are adding listener to checkTCSH , but you are checking the state of checkErr, what is your exact requirement?

I think you want to use an item listener. It provides information about select/deselect events. Look at the tutorials, which are frequently referenced from the API. Components have all kinds of listeners, and the right one isn't always obvious...
