Stupid button group problem

[will808]

I'm trying to make a button group with two JCheckBoxes, but for some reason I'm having problems adding them to the button group:

        ButtonGroup rye = new ButtonGroup();
        JCheckBox isRye = new JCheckBox("Yes", false);
        rye.add(isRye);
        JCheckBox notRye = new JCheckBox("No", true);
        rye.add(notRye);

Thanks for any help - this is doing my head in

What problems are you having exactly? The code looks correct, though I don't know why you need a button group with checkboxes, because that would allow you to select both options simultaneously. Maybe you meant to use radio buttons?

Ah, I thought I could have checkboxes where you can only select one as well. But I still get the same problem with JRadioButtons - the editor (Eclipse) is picking up this line:

b1.add(isRye);

It says that a variable declarator is needed after this token. Strange...

Oops - I did say it was a stupid problem didn't I? I was trying to add the radio buttons before I had created them <slap>

Thanks for the help anyway.
