Method to Reset Buttons?

Question

In my program, I have 12 different toggle buttons that will need to be reset at the same time. Instead of writing

buttonOne.setText("");
buttonOne.setSelected(false);
buttonOne.setEnabled(true);

over and over for 12 different toggle buttons, is there a way to do this in a method by passing parameters? I've only recently started java and i've never used parameter declarations that aren't strings or ints, so I was not sure if there would be a way to do it with a toggle button.

Answer 1

You could pass the button in as a parameter to a new method, and call your methods on that parameter

private void toggleButton(JToggleButton button) {
    button.setText("");
    button.setSelected(false);
    button.setEnabled(true);
}

// ...

toggleButton(buttonOne);
toggleButton(buttonTwo);
...

Answer 2

If You want to trigger all those buttons at once then you can put those buttons in a list and do:

for (JButton button : myListOfButtons) {
     button.setText("");
     button.setSelected(false);
     button.setEnabled(true);
}
