Thread: JRadioButton Problems

Hi,

The code below compiles without any errors, but the JRadioButton's dont seem to respond when any are selected.

In the actionsPerformed() method, if JButton 'next' is clicked:

-then proceed to assign data from JTextFields
-if either one of the JRadioButton's are selected, then..
-assign data to variables
-end of method.

The JButton 'next' works correctly, but the JRadioButton's 'easy', 'mild' and 'hard' don't respond (no data are assigned to the variables 'questions' and 'level').

Thanks in advanced.

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{	
	//if JButton 'next' is clicked..
	if(e.getSource() == next)
	{
		//Get details from textfield..
		name = String.valueOf(nameField.getText());
		topic = String.valueOf(topicField.getText());
 
		//also if JRadioButton 'easy' is selected..
		if(e.getSource() == easy)
		{
			questions = layQuestions.getEasyQuestionList();
			level = "Easy";
		}
		//or if JRadioButton 'mild' is selected..
		else if(e.getSource() == mild)
		{
			questions = layQuestions.getEasyQuestionList();
			level = "Mild";
		}
		//or if JRadioButton 'hard' is selected..
		else if(e.getSource() == hard)
		{
			questions = layQuestions.getHardQuestionList();
			level = "Hard";
		}
	}
}

You can't have it both ways -- you can't have the ActionEvent's source be two different objects at the same time. What you should do is get the ButtonGroup object and find out from it which ButtonModel is the one that has been selected.

Thanks for the replies.

So how would I go about using ButtonModel ? Would it be inside the actionPerformed() method, or in a separate method?

Thanks

Thanks for your help, I've got them working now
