Question

I have a program in which I am using 3 things, a checkbox, a combobox and a textfield. The logic works like this if checkbox is enable then combobox and textfield are enable unless not.

Then set some value in the textfield by mulitplying it with the item in combobox.

From the frame – The value of Final Price is Price * Quantity.

Now the issue when I click purchase everything went fine. But when I change the value from Jcombobox it doesn’t automatically change the value in final price and remains to be 1200 as in first case. For the value to be changed I have uncheck and then check the Checkbox.

What could be the problem. I have used ItemListner for both checkbox and combobox.

@Override
public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent e){

    Object get = e.getSource();

    int multiplier;
    int ftotal;


    if (e.getStateChange()==ItemEvent.SELECTED){
        if(get==chkbox1){
             qntbox1.setEnabled(true);            
             size1.setEnabled(true);
             multiplier = Integer.parseInt(String.valueOf(qntbox1.getSelectedItem()));


             ftotal = Integer.parseInt(price1.getText()) * multiplier;
             fprice1.setText(String.valueOf(ftotal));}

You have to implement ActionListener for your JComboBox:

private static final String command_cbo1 = "ComboBox1";
// ...

public class YourClass implements ItemListener, ActionListener
{
    // ...

    public YourClass()
    {
        // ...
        qntbox1.addActionListener(this);
        qntbox1.setActionCommand(command_cbo1);
        // ...
    }

    // ...

    public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent e)        
    {
        // ...
    }

    // ...

    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
    {
        JComboBox cb = (JComboBox) e.getSource();
        String s = (String) cb.getSelectedItem();

        if(e.getActionCommand().equals(command_cbo1))
        {
            fprice1.setText("" + (Integer.parseInt(price1.getText()) * Integer.parseInt(s)));
        }
        // ...
    }

    // ...
}
