Adding an action listener to an array of checkboxes

Hi,
In my program i have 6 arrays of checkboxes each array has 6 checkboxes

Code:

---

// declaring the arrays JCheckBox[]
pre = new JCheckBox[7]; 
JCheckBox[] expr = new JCheckBox[7];
 JCheckBox[] mot = new JCheckBox[7];
 JCheckBox[] res = new JCheckBox[7];
 JCheckBox[] dyn = new JCheckBox[7];
 JCheckBox[] appr = new JCheckBox[7];
// initialising the checkboxes
 for (int j=0 ; j<=6 ; j++){     
pre[j]  =  new JCheckBox("0"+j);
 expr[j] = new JCheckBox("1"+j);
mot[j]  =  new JCheckBox("2"+j); 
 res[j]  =  new JCheckBox("3"+j);
 dyn[j]  =  new JCheckBox("4"+j); 
appr[j] = new JCheckBox("5"+j); 
}
 int top=170; int left=10;
for(int x=0;x<=6;x++){
 jPanel2.add(pre[x],    new XYConstraints(top+x*40, left, 30, 20));
jPanel2.add(expr[x],    new XYConstraints(top+x*40, left+20, 30, 18));
jPanel2.add(mot[x],    new XYConstraints(top+x*40, left+40, 30, 18));
jPanel2.add(res[x],    new XYConstraints(top+x*40, left+60, 30, 18));
jPanel2.add(dyn[x],    new XYConstraints(top+x*40, left+80, 30, 18));
jPanel2.add(appr[x],  new XYConstraints(top+x*40, left+100, 28, 19));
}

I want to add an Action Listener to each array of checkboxes, and I do not know how to do it, could anyone give me an example please
Your help is appreciated, many thanks in advance

If you want each array to have a separate action listener, shared by each of its check boxes, just create each action listener and set it into each check box in the appropriate array, e.g:

Code:

---

// Create ActionListener for a checkbox array
ActionListener listener3 = new ActionListener() {
  public actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
      // do something for action events from a check box in array 3
  }
};
// Set ActionListener into all checkboxes in the array
for (int i=0; i<array3.length; i++) {
  array3[i].addActionListener(listener3);
}
// ...etc.

---

If that's not quite what you wanted, you'll have to be more specific.

That is what i wanted to do, thanks again for your help Dave...
