Thread: Problem with java swing JButton in Netbeans IDE

Hi friends,

I have created new GUI project in Netbeans and i placed a JButton. I have also add the Event handling by JButton(right click)-->events-->mouse-->mouse clicked. I just print "hello" when the button is clicked and disable the button by setting his property.

 
        private void jButton1MousePressed(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) {                                        
        // TODO add your handling code here:
        jButton1.setEnabled(false); //(or)jButton1.setSelected(true);
        System.out.println("hello");
    }

Now i have a strange problem. Once the button is clicked, it becomes disabled and hello is printed and next time when i click the disabled button , that time also the event handling procedure is called and hello is printed again. But i don't want to print hello when clicking disabled button.

What to do? Where i have made the mistake??

Remove the mouse listener, or add a conditional in the listener method that checks if the button is enabled.

Oh, then the mouse listener will be called even though the button is disabled?? If it so, i go by adding a conditional there. Thank you friend. :-)
