Java - Handle multiple events with one function?

Question

First of all, I am a complete Java NOOB.

I want to handle multiple button presses with one function, and do certain things depending on which button was clicked. I am using Netbeans, and I added an event with a binding function. That function is sent an ActionEvent by default.

How do I get the object that was clicked in order to trigger the binding function from within that function so I know which functionality to pursue?

Answer 1

The object that sent the event is the event source so evt.getSource() will get you that. However, it would be far better to have separate handlers for separate events.
