copied!<p>Create an action listener:</p> <pre><code>ActionListener al = new ActionListener() { public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) { Object src = evt.getSource(); if (evt instanceof JButton) { currentLetter = ((JButton) src).getText(); // do something with letter } // else something seriously wrong } }; </code></pre> <p>Then add this action listener to each of the buttons in <code>alphabet</code>:</p> <pre><code>for (JButton button : alphabet) { button.addActionListener(al); } </code></pre> <p><strong>EDIT</strong> I don't see the implementation of <code>initComponents()</code> in your updated code. Regardless, adding an action listener to each button is something that needs to be done only once. here's how I would start implementing <code>initComponents()</code>:</p> <pre><code>private static String[] letters = { "A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G", "H", "I", "J", "K", "L", "M", "N", "O", "P", "Q", "R", "S", "T", "U", "V", "W", "X", "Y", "Z" }; private JButton[] letterButtons = new JButton[letters.length]; private void initComponents() { ActionListener al = new ActionListener() { public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) { Object src = evt.getSource(); if (evt instanceof JButton) { currentLetter = ((JButton) src).getText(); // do something with letter } // else something seriously wrong } }; for (int i = 0; i < letters.length; ++i) { letterButtons[i] = new JButton(letters[i]); letterButtons[i].addActionListener(al); } . . . // add all the buttons to the user interface . . . } </code></pre> <p>Please simplify your code by using more arrays! I certainly would not have a separate variable for each letter button or 26 separate methods to deal separately with each letter click.</p>
