    Please edit your post and wrap your code with
    [code=java]
    <YOUR CODE HERE>
    [/code]
    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.


    Where are the prices and how are they added up to get a total?
    The adding up needs to be done AFTER the user has made his selections. Not when the program first starts.

    With the itemlistener, I believe I put if the size is selected in the Jcheckbox the size (small,medium,large,xlarge) is given a value in the if statements.

    the double toppings is given a value of 0. However, if the boxes are selected with check marks then toppings ++ which will add 1. If the box is unhighted it will -1.

    the totalprice is calculated by the other two doubles.

    double toppings and double sizes

    I am sorry for not putting the wrap around it

    If I wanted to add up after the code and display it in the box , how would i do so?

    to add up after the code and display it in the box
    Just like that.
    After the user has made his selection and asked for the total:
    add up the prices
    display the total


    How does the user ask for the total to be computed?

    So, I thought it would calculate as you pick your selections... However, will i have to make a button that once clicked will display the total of the users selection?

    calculate as you pick your selections.
    Yes you could do it that way. The listeners could compute a new total every time they are called.

    I tried making a button using ActionListener, however I cant use an actionlistener with a itemlistener. Is there a reason for that ,and how would i go about making a button to calculate total.

    Default Re: JCheckboxes Item Listener

    You can total the items each time a selection is made.
    You need to see what the code is doing. Add some println statements to the listeners and have them print out the new values that they set for the sizes and toppings.
    You would compute the new total at the end of the listeners and set the text of the label to show the new total.

    I cant use an actionlistener with a itemlistener.
    That shouldn't be a problem. If you get error messages, please copy and paste them here.

    my toppings arent working
    Where does the code handle the events from the "toppings" components?
