Correct syntax for disabling a radio button after it was chosen

Question

is it possible to disable a radio button? after a user chooses one of the radio buttons , i don't want them changing answers so i want to disable the radio button, i've used

radioButton.setEnable(false)

but still it's able to choose other radio buttons.

What is the correct syntax in disabling a radio button after it was chosen?

Surely setEnabled(false) will only affect that radio button: not others. Which buttons are you calling setEnabled(false) on? — George Tomlinson, Mar 08 '14 at 10:31
Still choose more radio buttons? Sounds like you want check boxes. — leigero, Mar 08 '14 at 10:32
uhmm i have 2 radio buttons, true and false i've used the setEnable(false) to both but still after choosing one button , like for ex: i chose the true but after that i can still choose it over and over — user3360927, Mar 08 '14 at 10:34

 JRadioButton b1 = new JRadioButton("");
 b1.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
   public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
     if ("disable".equals(e.getActionCommand())) {
      b1.setEnabled(true);
       } else {
        b1.setEnabled(false);
       }
    }
    });

@user3360927 of course. But you must be very careful about the logic of enabling/disabling. – rpax Mar 08 '14 at 15:02
