Array of checkboxes in java

Question

I would like to have 6 checkboxes, and do some stuff after a botton is pressed do you have an example?

Also can an array of checkboxes be used?

I want to avoid:<

Answer 1

You can do something like this:

    List<Checkbox> checkboxes = new ArrayList<Checkbox>();
    String labels[] = {"A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F"};
    for (int i = 0; i < labels.length; i++) {
        Checkbox checkbox = new Checkbox(labels[i]);
        checkboxes.add(checkbox); //for further use you add it to the list
    }

And then the List use it in your ActionListener to reference the checkboxes. You can also use an array if you like.

Answer 2

Yes, have an array of JCheckBox, example:

JCheckBox[] checkBoxes = {new JCheckBox("1"), new JCheckBox("2"), new JCheckBox("3"), new JCheckBox("4"), new JCheckBox("5"), new JCheckBox("6")};

or

JCheckBox[] checkBoxes = new JCheckBox[6];

Then you will have to iterate through checkBoxes.length and instantiate it (if you didn't) and add your listener through addItemListener() and finally adding each checkbox to your JFrame.

I hope this helps.
