Check Boxes A check box is a button that can be toggled on or off It is represented by the JCheckBox class Unlike a push button, which generates an action event, a check box generates an item event whenever it changes state The ItemListener interface is used to define item event listeners A check box calls the itemStateChanged method of the listener when it is toggled Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Check Boxes Let's examine a program that uses check boxes to determine the style of a label's text string It uses the Font class, which embodies a character font's: family name (such as Times or Courier) style (bold, italic, or both) font size See StyleOptions.java See StyleOptionsPanel.java Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
