Question

The code below works great for when the user assigns the total amount of stat points I allocate. However, I would love to only disable the plus button, so they could lower a stat value and then add again.

if ((strengthModel.getNumber().intValue()) + (constitutionModel.getNumber().intValue()) + (dexterityModel.getNumber().intValue()) + (intelligenceModel.getNumber().intValue()) > 49){
     strengthSpinner.setEnabled(false);
     constitutionSpinner.setEnabled(false);
     dexteritySpinner.setEnabled(false);
     intelligenceSpinner.setEnabled(false);
}

Is that possible with int spinners? I did not see it in the docs.

EDIT Bit more info: You can spread your stat points around or assign them all to one stat. The max on each of the models is all 10 of the un-used points.

For anyone who finds this thread here is how I solved my issue:

public void stateChanged(ChangeEvent e) {
    Component[] components = characterCreationPanel.getComponents();
    Component component = null; 
    strengthValue = strengthModel.getNumber().intValue();
    constitutionValue = constitutionModel.getNumber().intValue();
    dexterityValue = dexterityModel.getNumber().intValue();
    intelligenceValue = intelligenceModel.getNumber().intValue();
    for (int i = 0; i < components.length; i++)
    {
        component = components[i];
        if (component instanceof JLabel){
            if (((JLabel) component).getText().substring(0, 5).equals("Stat ")){
                ((JLabel) component).setText("Stat Points Left: " + Integer.toString(50 - (strengthValue + constitutionValue + dexterityValue + intelligenceValue)));
                if ((strengthValue + constitutionValue + dexterityValue + intelligenceValue) == 50){
                    System.out.println("Hit your cap.");
                }
            }       
        }
        strengthModel.setMaximum(50 - (constitutionValue + dexterityValue + intelligenceValue));
        constitutionModel.setMaximum(50 - (strengthValue + dexterityValue + intelligenceValue));
        dexterityModel.setMaximum(50 - (strengthValue + constitutionValue + intelligenceValue));
        intelligenceModel.setMaximum(50 - (strengthValue + constitutionValue + dexterityValue));
    }
}
