I have a series of radio buttons generated as an array and displayed in a jPanel.
I want a series of checkboxes in a second panel to be enbled when the radio buttons are in output state but not in the input (input or output are the radio choices).
I want to call the checking state method whenever any of the radiobuttons states change but don't know how to do this as they are created in an array.
Currently the method is called only when the radio button panel is actually clicked.

import java.awt.BorderLayout;

import java.awt.GridLayout;
public class ArduinoGUI extends javax.swing.JFrame {
public ArduinoGUI() {
initCustomComponents();
initComponents();
