what radio button is on when OK is pressed?

[ringd]

Hello!

I'm creating a simple GUI which contains various elements such as JButtons (for OK and CANCEL) and JRadioButtons (for various options). The radio buttons are linked together via a ButtonGroup.

What I want to do is within the OK button listener, identify what radio button is pressed. In the button group, a button (and only one button) is always on.

I've tried this bit of code in the OK button listener (and it doesn't work! (returns a null)...

GUIInstance.radioGroup.getSelection().getActionCommand();

Can anyone help this JAVA newboy?

Cheers,
Dave.
