I have an array of JButtons which form a keypad interface. After six numbers are entered I want to disable the keypad so that no further numbers can be entered by the user.
I have written the code and the buttons do disable until the mouse hovers above any of them, then the buttons seem to re-enable themselves and run actionEvents added to them.
The full code is available here.
Possible things that I think are wrong.
- There is some sort of MouseListener which is ignoring when I set
button.setEnabled(false);
- I haven't separated attributes from the
buildGUI();
correctly, I only did this anyway so that the inner class could access them. - Possibly something to do with the
gridLayout
as disabling the buttons seems to work for myservices
JPanel buttons.
