radiobutton problem and classCastException problem

[Anonymous]

I have a problem with JRadioButtons that I can't seem to figure out. I have 3 radiobuttons and a JButton. When I press the button I want it to tell me which of the radiobuttons was selected. Sounds easy enough but i can't get it working.
My code is:
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
JRadioButton rbutton = (JRadioButton)e.getSource();
Pay(rbutton);
} // end of actionperformed
public void Pay(JRadioButton rbutton)
{
if (rbutton == minamt)
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "min amount");
else
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "not");
} // end of pay
N.B minamt is the name of one of the radiobuttons.
When I run it I get a classCastException in javax.swing.JButton.
Have I made a silly mistake. Any help much appreciated.

JButton extends from AbstractButton whereas JRadioButton extends from JToggleButton(which extends from AbstractButton). So thats y u get a classcast exception.
You can try with this piece of code in ur actionListener
.
.
if(minamt.isSelected())
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "flowlayout");
else ....
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "otherlayout");
