JCheckBox knowing if checkbox is selected or not

Question

To set a JCheckBox is using setSelected method with a boolean condition. Which method do i use to get the boolean data out of the JCheckBox. Thanks

umm can you rephrase your question? _to get the method out_ ?? — COD3BOY, May 10 '12 at 04:58
Did you mean to check if the JCheckbox is selected? if so use isSelected() — COD3BOY, May 10 '12 at 05:03
Thank you very much..took me hours looking for the method. i thought it was like getSelected or getState. — The JAVA Noob, May 10 '12 at 05:05

You can also use an ItemListener in case you want to get notified about the check and uncheck!

isSelected() is the method you looking for, I guess. This will return false if JCheckBox is NOT Selected and true if Selected.
