Help with sliders in java

[Ajinkya]

i have three sliders s1,s2 and s3. s3 is non-editable where as s1 and s2 are editable. s1 and s2 have min and max of 0 and 200 whereas s3 has a min and max of 0 and 50.value of s3 by default is 50. what i want is when i increase s1 or s2 by 1 or more, s3 should go down by same value and if s3 reaches 0 s1 or s2 cannot be futher increased. same with decrease.when i decrease s1 or s2 by 1 or more, s3 should go up by same value and if s3 reaches 50 s1 or s2 cannot be futher decreased.

Do you have code you are working on to do this? Please post a small, simple program that compiles and executes and shows the problem.

    // End of variables declaration
}

this is the code. what i want is if i increase s1 or s2 , s3 should go down by same value and if s3==0 then s1 or s2 cannot be futher increased

[JosAH]

A bit of 101 math would show that the range of s1 and s2 is also [0, 50].

kind regards,

Jos

The code does not have any listeners to react to changes in the sliders's values. You'll need to add them to do what you want.

what listener should i add and what should i code in it

[Norm]

Read the API doc for the JSlider class to see how to use listeners with it.
Add listeners to the sliders in your code and to see data is available when they are called, print out the event object that is passed to the listener. Also look at the API doc for the event object passed to the listener to see what data you can get from the object. Once you see what data is available and how to get it, you can then start working on the logic to solve your problem.

[Tolls]

And when you know what sort of listener, here's the tutorial for how to use them.

i'm a noob so can u write me a sample program as an example. plz ?

Self-deprecation is never a good idea. The tutorial provided by Tolls has sample programs and is very thorough.
