Abstract
So far, you have learned how to use simple buttons and a variety of text input fields. In this chapter, you’ll take a look at using some other input components, ones that can be selected. All of the components in this chapter have two possible states, they are either selected or not. I’ll start by describing toggle buttons, proceed to check boxes, and then to radio buttons. I will also discuss how to group these fields in order to make interesting user presentations.

Initially, I had the code to create and add each JCheckBox to the frame on a single line. Width limitations for these listings, however, meant that it would be best, at least for this example, to create and use the addCB() method in lines 9-15 instead.

Unless, of course, you have something like an event handler deselect everything in the group.
