javaswingjtogglebuttonitemlistenerchangelistener

Is it possible to make JToggle text depend on its state?

Is it possible for me to set the text on JToggle button to "ON" if it is selected and if not, as "OFF"? I'm trying with this code:

    if(togbut.isSelected()){
        togbut.setText("ON");
    }
     else if(!togbut.isSelected()){
           togbut.setText("OFF");
    }

But it doesn't work. I use NetBeans 7.3.

Solution

  • Your code is almost correct.

    It has to be put in the change listener of your toggle button.

        toggleButton.addChangeListener(new ChangeListener() {
        @Override
        public void stateChanged(ChangeEvent event) {
            if (toggleButton.isSelected()){
                toggleButton.setText("ON");
            } else {
                toggleButton.setText("OFF");
            }
        }
    });
