Looping JCheckBox

[Davy Kelly]

Hey everyone,

I want to make some JCheckBox's
4 in a line but iterating this row 24 times e.g.
checkBox1 checkBox2 checkBox3 checkBox4
checkBox1 checkBox2 checkBox3 checkBox4
checkBox1 checkBox2 checkBox3 checkBox4
checkBox1 checkBox2 checkBox3 checkBox4
etc

I have JTextAreas with 2 rows, and I want the JCheckBox to record something about the row of the JTextArea.

here is my code to loop through, needless to say it is wrong.

//declared variables at start of prog
JCheckBox[] stat = new JCheckBox[30];
String[] statLabel = {"Ind", "1st", "NP", "FT"};
Box[] inBox = new Box[24];
 

//declared for loop in buildGUI() method
 
Box outBox = new Box(BoxLayout.X_AXIS);
for (int x = 0; x <= 25; x++)
{
  inBox[x] = new Box(BoxLayout.X_AXIS);
  for (int j = 0; j <= 4; j++)
  {
    stat[j] = new JCheckBox(statLabel[j]);
    inBox[x].add(stat[j]);
  }
  outBox.add(inBox[x]);
}
statsBox.add(outBox);

what am I doing wrong?

here is a pic of what I am working on, to show what I mean

well this was my loop:

 
Box outBox = new Box(BoxLayout.Y_AXIS);// a box to hold all the check box's stacked vertically
for (int x = 0; x <= 23; x++)
{
  inBox[x] = new Box(BoxLayout.X_AXIS);// a new box to hold the stats box's
  for (int j = 0; j <= 3; j++)
  {
    stat[j] = new JCheckBox(statLabel[j]); // set the text of this check box
    stat[j].setFont(fontSmall); // set the font to Bold 8pt Ariel
  inBox[x].add(stat[j]); // add the check box's lables
  }
  outBox.add(inBox[x]);// add the check box's to a box
}
