How to disable group of radio buttons in java


Hello I am looking for a way to disable a radio buttons if textfield is empty. My radio buttons called buttonGroup1(jbutton1,jbutton2,jbutton3,jbutton4) should be disabled if textfield is empty but I have no idea how to make if statment for this


Solution

  • A simple solution would be to place the buttons in an array...

    JRadioButton[] buttons = new JRadioButton[]{jbutton1,jbutton2,jbutton3,jbutton4};
    

    Determine the state you want the buttons to become...

    boolean enabled = !textfield.getText().trim().isEmpty();
    

    The iterate the array and change the state of the buttons...

    for (JRadioButton btn : buttons) {
        btn.setEnabled(enabled);
    }
