Passing a General Reference

[orangemonkey]

In this code, where the ****** are, I want to pass a reference to the jButton8 object. I don't want to pass it to be button specific though, I want the code to be button general, to pass whatever jButton the method is declared in. Is it possible?
Thanks !

jButton8 = new javax.swing.JBu tton();
jButton8.addAct ionListener(new java.awt.event. ActionListener( ) {
public void actionPerformed (java.awt.event .ActionEvent evt)
{
jButtonAction (evt, *************** **** );
}
});

Create a new class, say ActionButton, that extends JButton and implements ActionListener. You can then pass 'this' to that method.

An ActionEvent has the source of the event as its member. Read the API documentation.

You're welcome of course; a little tip: for more substantial guis Actions are a bit
more convenient than all those ActionListeners all over the place.
