Slide 10.12: Checkboxes: Java source code

Checkboxes: Java Source Code

A checkbox is a specific type of two-states button that can be either checked or unchecked.

if ( ((CheckBox) v).isChecked( ) ) {

The method is used to check whether the particular CheckBox is checked or unchecked.

StringBuffer result = new StringBuffer( );

This class is a modifiable sequence of characters for use in creating strings, where all accesses are synchronized. The majority of the modification methods on this class return this so that method calls can be chained together. For example:

   new StringBuffer("a").append("b").append("c").toString( )
