Hello,

i can't manage to check a JCheckBoxMenuItem. Here is the important code (mostly generated by eclipse 3.0.1):

   private javax.swing.JCheckBoxMenuItem getPointsCheckBoxMenuItem() {
       if (pointsCheckBoxMenuItem == null) {
           pointsCheckBoxMenuItem = new javax.swing.JCheckBoxMenuItem();
           pointsCheckBoxMenuItem.setText("Afficher les points");
           pointsCheckBoxMenuItem.addActionListener(new java.awt.event.ActionListener() {
               public void actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent e) {
                  //pointsCheckBoxMenuItem.getModel().isSelected()
                  System.err.println("pointsCheckBoxMenuItem.getState() = " + pointsCheckBoxMenuItem.getState());
                  System.err.println("pointsCheckBoxMenuItem.isSelected() = " + pointsCheckBoxMenuItem.isSelected());
                  if (pointsCheckBoxMenuItem.getModel().isSelected()) {
                      System.err.println("hide");
                      pointsCheckBoxMenuItem.setSelected(false);
                      getPointsJScrollPane().setVisible(false);
                      validate();
                      repaint();
                  } else {
                      System.err.println("show");
                      pointsCheckBoxMenuItem.setSelected(true);
                      getPointsJScrollPane().setVisible(true);
                      validate();
                      repaint();
                  }
               }
           });
           pointsCheckBoxMenuItem.setSelected(false);
       }
       return pointsCheckBoxMenuItem;
   }

the OUTPUT:

pointsCheckBoxMenuItem.getState() = true
pointsCheckBoxMenuItem.isSelected() = true
hide
pointsCheckBoxMenuItem.getState() = true
pointsCheckBoxMenuItem.isSelected() = true
hide

getState() is deprecated, it's just for testing

The checkbox is always detected as selected, while it is painted as it's not (in the menu, the item is NOT checked), and i can't select it!!

Any idea, plz?

TIA
