java - JComboBox Action listener -

i'm having problem. have multiple jcomboboxes (5 total).

to each combobox add actionlistener, same actionlistener of them, called:

comboboxactionperformed(java.awt.event.actionevent e) 

and when action performed @ event (e) , do:

jcombobox c = ((jcombobox)e.getsource()); //do work relating c thats combobox triggered. 

but problem when change in of comboboxes action triggered last combo box attaching actionlistner.

anyone have idea?

i switched itemlistner. im doing a

class myactionlistner implements itemlistener  {     //stuff         @override         public void itemstatechanged(itemevent evt)          {             //do stuff     } }  public jcombobox createcombo() {     jcombobox box = new jcombobox();         box.setmodel(new javax.swing.defaultcomboboxmodel(new string[]                  { "val1", "val2","val3" }));         rulesactionlistner actionl = new rulesactionlistner();         box.additemlistener(actionl); return box; } 

and createcombo gets called multiple times regardless of combo box item changed in side itemstatechanged method comming last combo box created

createcombo called @ runtime, have variable number of comboboxes.

add separate action listeners instead of having 1 action listener run through if statements each call. section of code have logic has bug causing last combo box selected. (maybe else statement should else if, etc.).

separating out more oo , more flexible long term.
