Radial buttons and IFs

**vramba** · 04-23-2012, 09:04 PM

Hi!

My problem is next. I have two groups of buttons, let's name them A and B. A group consists of 2 buttons, and B group consists of 4 buttons. What I need is next:

I need
if (A1 is selected && B2 is selected)
write_something_in_my_text_field_after_the_common( not radial)button_is_pressed;

I did lot of Googleing, every site says different. Furthermore, I'm completely new in this, so I ask you guys, what part of code should I implement and how does the syntax look like.

Thanks!

I hate sounding like an idiot, but what is a radial button?

What class are your buttons? Does that class have any methods you could use for testing the state of the buttons?

Since you're completely new, read the API for any of the button classes and follow the link to the Swing tutorial from there.

It's JButton. I need a method which will determine whether button is checked or not.

JButton. I need a method

Look in the API doc for all the methods in the class and the inherited methods also.

Are you sure about this? JButtons don't get "checked" while JCheckBox and JRadioButton (which is what I *think* you mean) do, as does a JToggleButton in a matter of speaking. Not to sound harpy, but please be as precise as possible when describing your problem. Learning to program is difficult, and helping others do this is even harder, hard enough that if you're asking questions you should strive to make it as easy as possible for us to help you and to avoid this type of confusion.
