Tricky problem. Change button name with each for-loop
Hi all,
I would like to implement a 'for loop' to add buttons to my panel depending on the value of max_number.
The postion of these buttons will also change with each passing of the loop.
The code below implements this. But when I click the buttons they only return the action listener of the last button drawn. This is because the JButton my_button is reused in each pass through the loop.
What I need is to change the name of the button on each passing of the loop so that I create a new button each time with it's own unique action listener.
Is there a way of adding/appending the value of 'i' to the button name each time the for loop is run?
For example
When i = 0 -> JButton my_button0 = ...
When i = 1 -> JButton my_button1 = ...
etc, etc,
[CODE]
for (i = 0; i < max_number; i++)
{
JButton my_button = new JButton(Integer.toString(i));
my_button.addActionListener( new ActionListener()
{ public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event)
{ do something depending on the value of 'i' }});
addComponent(my_button, (2*i+1) , 4 , 1 , 1);//add newly created button to position x = (2*i+1), y = 4
} //end for
[/CODE]
