JCheckbox - ActionListener and ItemListener?

Question

Both ActionListener and ItemListener are used to fire an event with JCheckBox?

So, what\'s the difference between them and in which case one of them is preferred to

Answer 1

I use addActionListener for JButtons while addItemListener is more convenient for a JToggleButton. Together with if(event.getStateChange()==ItemEvent.SELECTED), in the latter case, I add Events for whenever the JToggleButton is checked/unchecked.
