Help with JCheckBox

So, what I'm trying to do here is have the system print "test" when a JCheckBox from my GUI is checked.

Code:

Code:

---

                foodcheck.addActionListener(this);
//I added an action listener to the checkbox

---

later down:

Code:

---

                if (foodcheck.isSelected()) {
                      System.out.print("test");
                  }

---

foodcheck is the JCheckBox.

Help please!

Try doing the method

Code:

---

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
System.out.print("test");
}

---

Good Luck!

No, this will print any time the check box is checked, regardless if it has been unselected or selected. The best solution is to read the check box tutorial and add an ItemListener as demonstrated in the tutorial.
