literal string expansion

[Jerre Snow]

I have 150 checkboxes named jCB001...jCB150 .
How would I loop through them in a for/next loop performing actions on
them. If I held their names in an array, how would I make use of that
String in the array to reference the checkbox object? Is there a way
to do this?

That's not a proper way to do it. You should create a combobox array and
then iterate through it. Alternatively, you can put your comboboxes onto a
JPanel and then use
JPanel.getCompo nents() to get your comboboxes as an array.

It hadn't occurred to me to look for methods in the underlying jpanel.
JPanel.getCompo nents() solved the problem.

Component[] c = jPanel.getCompo nents();
JCheckBox jc = (JCheckBox) c[i];
