Change multiple images simultaneously in a table

[Abbudin]

Hello,
I made an array of buttons that I can change the picture when I click on the button. This will clear a pawn in a dark piece. Now I'd like that when I click on a piece, it will change some pieces of the table at the same time. in places set the table at the same time. Do you have any idea about this?
Here is my code:

package test; 

java.awt.GridLayout import; 
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent; 
import java.awt.event.ActionListener; 
import java.awt.event.MouseEvent; 
java.awt.event.MouseListener import; 

javax.swing.AbstractButton import; 
javax.swing.ImageIcon import; 
import javax.swing.JButton; 
import javax.swing.JFrame; 
import javax.swing.JPanel; 

public class Window extends JFrame implements ActionListener ( 
/ ** 
* 
* / 
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L; 
private JPanel pan = new JPanel (); 
protected ImageIcon b1; 
protected ImageIcon b2; 

public Window () ( 

this.setTitle ( "Test"); 
this.setSize (450, 500); 
this.setDefaultCloseOperation (JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); 
this.setResizable (false); 
this.setLocationRelativeTo (null); 
setLayout (new GridLayout (5, 5, 0, 0)); 

JButton [] b = new JButton [25]; 
for (int i = 0; i <b.length i + +) ( 
b1 = new ImageIcon ( "b1.gif"); 
b2 = new ImageIcon ( "b2.gif"); 
b [i] = new JButton (b1); 
b [i]. addActionListener (this); 

pan.add (b [i]); 
) 
setContentPane (pan); 
) 

( 

this.setContentPane (pan); 
this.setVisible (true); 
) 

@ Override 
public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent e) ( 
/ / TODO Auto-generated method stub 
JButton b = (JButton) (e.getSource ()); 
ImageIcon mImageIconButton = (ImageIcon) b.getIcon (); 

if (mImageIconButton.getDescription (). equals (b1.getDescription ())) ( 
b.setIcon (b2); 
) Else if (mImageIconButton.getDescription () 
. equals (b2.getDescription ())) ( 
b.setIcon (b1); 
) 
) 

)

I think you should just create a function that represents the logic of your program (the algorithm that you follow), and then you call the method actionPerformed of your listener, I do not think it's so complicated. This method must change the image of your buttons according to your circumstances, that's all.

I see the approach you suggest me but what I blocks is the method that allows me to retrieve the details of the various pieces that I want to change at the same time with one click. But I try And if you have an idea, it is welcome.

Well I considered two ways of seeing things may be there are there more .....

The first:
You set an attribute your class Frame, JButton matrix table in the following way ....

JButton [] [] mButtons = new JButton [5] [5];

Your class JFrame implements ActionListener therefore the action performed method you do

public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent e) ( 
for (int i = 0; i <mButtons.length i + +) ( 
for (int j = 0, j <mButton [i]. length j + +) ( 
if (((JButton) e.getSource ()). equals (mButtons [i] [j])) ( 
/ / Then you get the position in the table clicked button, simply change the color of the pieces you want in relation to this one. 
) 
) 
) 
)

For the second, it is a bit more complex, I also of course the fact that tt is in the former topic, see my last post

But if not for the explanation, each button will have specific attributes that will be her color, and a list of buttons that will change color at the same time it is clicked. This list of buttons will be charged when you initialize your window.
To do this in Java, a bit of inheritance:

ReversoPion class extends JButton ( 
private List <ReversePion> mReversePionsVoisins; 
/ / Enumeration to indicate the color of the pawn value fonce (clear) 
private ColorReversePioin mColorReversePion; 
)

The method becomes actionPerformed this "extracted from the other topic:

public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent pE) ( 
changeColorReverse (); 
changeColorReverseVoisinsColor (); 
)

with the methods felt goods:

public void changeReversepionColor () ( 
if (mColorReversePion == ColorReversePion.clair) ( 
mColorReversePion = ColorReversePion.fonce; 
setIcon (sImageIconPionFonce); 
) Else if (mColorReversePion == ColorReversePion.fonce) ( 
mColorReversePion = ColorReversePion.clair; 
setIcon (sImageIconPionClair); 
) 
) 

public void changeReversePionsVoisinsColor () ( 
for (ReversePion vReversePionTmp: mReversePionsVoisins) ( 
vReversePionTmp.changeReversePionCouleur (); 
) 
)
