Java Forum / GUI / November 2005Q: Keeping JCheckBoxMenuItem and JToggleButton in sync through Action
I am using Action objects when building my JCheckBoxMenuItem and JToggleButton items in the menubar and toolbar. I assumed this would keep the two in sync just like happens with the "enabled" property, but it seems I somehow have to manage the checked/toggled state myself. Is this true? If so, how is it typically done? Thanks in advance, Casper > I am using Action objects when building my JCheckBoxMenuItem and > JToggleButton items in the menubar and toolbar.

To keep both components in sync you may try to share ButtonModel. > Thanks in advance, > Casper > I assumed this would keep the two in sync just like happens with > the "enabled" property, but it seems I somehow have to manage > the checked/toggled state myself. Is this true? If so, how is it > typically done? Your Action does not maintain the state of your checkbox, togglebutton, etc... It merely dictates what should happen if the Action is triggered. If you want the components to be notified of their respective changes, you'll have to set them up as listeners of each other. >I am using Action objects when building my JCheckBoxMenuItem and >JToggleButton items in the menubar and toolbar.
