Just use setEnabled(true); or setEnabled(false); for your buttons in the appropriate listeners

Thanks. Is there any way to set counter for 10 sec for each answer from jcombo?

JamesCherrill 4,733 Most Valuable Poster Team Colleague Featured Poster · Answer 2 · 2015-10-11T14:30:53+00:00

Yes.
Have a look at javax.swing.Timer (see the API doc in the usual place) - you can set a 10 sec timer and start it counting down when the user answers. If the user gives the next answer within 10 secs just cancel the timer. If the user doesn't answer in time then the Timer will fire and run whatever code you want.
ps: Don't confuse javax.swing.Timer with java.util.Timer. javax.swing.Timer is the one you want for a Swing GUI.
