    Exclamation program wont renew total

    ok so heress my code... it looks the way its supposed to (except that it shows 1 zero instead of 2 while total is 0 so any additional help with that is appreciated)... it compiles correctly... but when i click on the checkboxes, the total doesnt change which is really irritating cause once this minor problem is out of the way the code is finished...

        <title>The Dinner Menu</title>
        <p align = "center">

    the total is supposed to change after every time you click a checkbox

    thanks

    I believe you wish to have ItemListener's added to the checkboxes? See How to Write an ItemListener

    ok heres what i dont get...

    i set up the checkboxes as itemlisteners in the calling program as:

    watery.clam.addItemListener(this);

    where watery is the object and clam is the checkbox itself with this referring to the applet itself

    do i have to register them as item listeners in their original class too? if so what would i need to put in that classes itemStateChanged method if anything?

    Default Re: program wont renew total

    ok so i added the following code after i added them to the applet in the init() method in the DinnerMenu class:

    watery.clam.addItemListener(this);
    watery.veg.addItemListener(this);
    watery.broth.addItemListener(this);
    ... // and i did the same to all the other checkboxes

    then to the DinnerMenu class's itemStateChanged() method i changed the following

    public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent e)
    {
    if (e.getItemSelectable==watery.clam||watery.veg||watery.broth)
    {
    //add to variables
    }
    //do same with all checkboxes
    dollar = (dollarw + dollarm + dollars);
    cents = (centsw + centsm + centss);

    and now it gives me an error when i try to compile it: "opperator || cannot be applied to boolean, java.awt.checkbox"

    what does that mean?

    ok so i fixed the error problem

    instead of having the if statements with the || operator i just made multiple if statements:

    if (e.getItemSelectable==watery.clam)
    {
    }
    else if (e.getItemSelectable==watery.veg)
    {
    }
    // and i did this with the rest of the checkboxes

    so now it compiles but i still have the same problem with total not updating.

    so back to my original question... since total is a label, how do i update its contents and display them where total is already every time an ItemEvent happens?
