Multiple sliders with a single listener - can it be done?

[Mike Lipay]

Can I have more than one JSlider reporting to a single ChangeListener, and be able to tell which one is triggering the event? If so, how? I currently have three sliders on my window and they are reporting to the same listener, but I can't seem to find out how to tell which one is being moved.

You can try the getSource() method if your Event has such a method.

But it sounds like a peculiar design to me.

Ok. I knew you could identify buttons, wasn't sure if sliders worked the same, apparently not. I'll just create multiple listeners.

The getSource() method appears to be inherited from EventObject, so you can probably find it.

But I suspect separate Listeners is a better solution.
