Delete all usages of an actionlistener

Question

Is there any way to delete an action listener off all components that have it attached?

Something like: Action.removeFromAll();

I have attached this Action to several different buttons and when any button is pushed it should no longer be possible to activate this action. So in the action performed of this action I want to delete it from all the buttons. Is this possible or will I just have to loop through all the buttons?

Answer 1

An easier work around would be to create an instance variable boolean shouldPerformAction = true on the action listener. And when you get the button pushed action, you set it to false. And in the actionPerformed() method, you check if the shouldPerformAction is false and return without doing any action.
