I'm trying to get a toggle button to change two Jlabel's named toggled and untoggled with with an ActionListener.
I have it working to where if you press the button it shows the toggled Jlabel and hides the untoggled Jlabel. I'm not having any errors, but when I then untoggle it it stays the same as the selected or toggle state.
Here is the JToggleButton code:
JToggleButton tglbtnNewToggleButton = new JToggleButton("New toggle button");
tglbtnNewToggleButton.setBounds(351, 387, 121, 23);
tglbtnNewToggleButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
AbstractButton abstractButton = (AbstractButton) actionEvent.getSource();
boolean selected = abstractButton.getModel().isSelected();
if (selected =true) {
untoggled.setVisible(false);
toggled.setVisible(true);
}
else{
toggled.setVisible(false);
untoggled.setVisible(true);
}
}
});
Here is the whole code:

You don't use an action listener for a JToggleButton. You use an item listener.
Here's your code, formatted and sort of working. I had to fix a few compiler errors and comment out your image code, since you did not provide the images.
Using a null layout and absolute positioning will lead you to more problems in the future. Take a look at Swing layouts.
