confusion

I was wondering if it was possible to create a display with radio button choices and a vote button. When the vote button is pushed, votes will be tallied and displayed. What I don't know is how to get the choice from the radio button when the vote button is pressed and process it. Here's the menu i created so far:




My other option is to not have a vote button at all. I tried that before with actionListeners on all the buttons. Then I tallied everthing in the actionPerformed method, but when i displayed the vote total, it was always 1 despite multiple votes.

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
