copied!<ol> <li><p>Well i don't see any problem when you know that <code>evt.getSource()</code> return the source Component of the <code>ActionEvent</code>. </p></li> <li><p>To register an action listener to a component like <code>JButton</code>, we usually do this:</p> <pre><code>jButton.addActionListener(anActionListener); </code></pre> <p>For your context you can pass <code>ActionListener</code> using the help of <code>this</code>. </p></li> <li><p>Do not implement <code>ActionListener</code> interface to some class which doesn't listen to such Event or have them. If required declare a new class by implementing it and use instance of that class to register the listener.</p> <pre><code> class MyActionListener implements ActionListener { public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { // press the button } } MyActionListener actionListener = new MyActionListener(); jButton1.addActionListener(actionListener); jButton2.addActionListener(actionListener); jButton3.addActionListener(actionListener); </code></pre></li> </ol> <blockquote> <p>I'm trying to dynamically add buttons (JButtons), which changes names everytime.</p> </blockquote> <p>But you are probably having misconception about setting name with <code>new JButton("some text")</code>. This doesn't set name of the Button, rather it's text content. You need to use <code>button.setName("aName")</code> instead.</p> <p>However, You can always use the either of the <code>getName</code> or <code>getText</code> method to identify your specific button.</p> <pre><code>public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { // press the button JButton button = (JButton)e.getSource(); Syestem.out.println(button.getName()); // get the name System.out.println(button.getText()) // get the text content if(button.getText().equals("clearBtn")) // clear things for me } </code></pre>
