ActionListener Event Handling

Question

Coded for a checkbox that agrees to the Terms of Service and an accept and decline button.

I need help for an exception handling that

if the user does NOT have the checkbox as SELECTED then when they hit accept, an error message occurs telling the user that he has not selected the checkbox.

How would I code an error handling exception using these 2 arguments?

Answer 1

Why don't you just check for the isSelected to be true?

if (!serviceTerms.isSelected())
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "You have not accepted the terms.");
