Print dynamic selected checkbox using JFrame

Time:12-24

I'm new to JFrame, I was trying to populate dynamic checkboxes with a scroll pane. I tried with some code as seen below. My Focus is:

  1. Get the selected dynamic checkbox's name.
  2. While I click no (Radio button) the check box panel is set to disabled/frozen/uncheckable.

I was stuck with this for the past 3 days. Can't get the selected checkbox name in dynamic checkboxes. Can anyone help me with this?

Instead of using null layouts and setting bounds manually, I would suggest using a combination of basic layout managers for the job. Note the comments and the use of ButtonGroup for the JRadioButtons:
