Why is button press spamming actionPerformed action and how to stop it?

How are we supposed to help you without your code?

Gui file:

package com.creepysheep.magnet.client.gui;

import com.creepysheep.magnet.handler.ConfigHandler;
import com.creepysheep.magnet.handler.FilterHandler;
import com.creepysheep.magnet.reference.ButtonReference;
import com.creepysheep.magnet.utility.LogHelper;
import cpw.mods.fml.client.config.GuiCheckBox;
import net.minecraft.client.gui.*;

import java.awt.*;

public class confGui extends GuiScreen {

    FilterHandler filterHandler = new FilterHandler();
    GuiButton test1 = new GuiButton(0, 50, 40, 100, 20, "Add");


    @Override
    public void drawScreen(int x, int y, float f) {
        drawDefaultBackground();

        drawCenteredString(fontRendererObj, "Toggle filtered items", this.width / 2, 22, 16777215);
        if (ConfigHandler.isEnabled = true);

        this.buttonList.add(test1);
        //this.buttonList.add(new GuiButton(0, 50, 40, 100, 20, "Add"));
        this.buttonList.add(new GuiButton(1, 50, 70, 100, 20, "Remove"));
        this.buttonList.add(ButtonReference.test2);

        super.drawScreen(x, y, f);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean doesGuiPauseGame() {
        return false;
    }

    public void actionPerformed(GuiButton button) {
        switch(button.id) {

            case 2:
                LogHelper.info(ButtonReference.test2.isChecked());
                    if(ButtonReference.test2.isChecked()) {
                        ButtonReference.test2.setIsChecked(true);
                        return;
                    }
                else{
                        ButtonReference.test2.setIsChecked(false);
                        return;
                    }
                }


        }
}

 

Button declaration:

 public static GuiCheckBox test2 = new GuiCheckBox(2, 50, 100, "Enabled?", false);

 

Output:

 

No idea.

A tutorial I followed did this way...

Alright, I redid this with initGui and it works.

Thank you for your question diesieben and thus directing me.
