    Default Java Applets

    Hi, I am relatively new to applets, hence having some problems when it comes to handling event driven code.

    Below is a java applet code. All I want is when the button called "Example" is pressed, the three textfields, tf1, tf2 and tf3 should show the values 5000, 6 and 8. will someone please help, thanks for the time.




    import java.awt.*; import javax.swing.*; import java.awt.event.*;
    import java.text.DecimalFormat;

    public class money_time extends JApplet implements ActionListener{
    JTextField tf1, tf2, tf3, tf4;
    JLabel label1, label2, label3, label4;
    JButton b1, b2;

    public void init(){
    setLayout( new FlowLayout());
    label1 = new JLabel( " Enter deposit amount" );
    tf1 = new JTextField( 10 );
    label2 = new JLabel( " Enter interest rate" );
    tf2 = new JTextField( 10 );
    label3 = new JLabel( " Enter number of years" );
    tf3 = new JTextField( 10 );
    label4 = new JLabel( " Future Amount" );
    tf4 = new JTextField( 10 );
    b1 = new JButton( "Enter" );
    b1.addActionListener( this );
    b2 = new JButton( "Example" );
    b2.addActionListener( this );
    add(label1); add(label2); add(label3); add(label4);
    add(tf1); add(tf2); add(tf3); add(tf4);
    add(b1); add(b2);
    }

    public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent ae ) {
    Object obj = ae.getSource( );

    String a = "5000", b = "6", c = "8";

    String st1 = tf1.getText();
    String st2 = tf2.getText();
    String st3 = tf3.getText();

    double p = Double.parseDouble(st1);
    double i = Double.parseDouble(st2);
    double n = Double.parseDouble(st3);

    double f = p*Math.pow(1+i/100, n);
    DecimalFormat formatter = new DecimalFormat("0.00");

    if (obj == b2){
    tf1.setText(String.valueOf(a));
    tf2.setText(String.valueOf(b));
    tf3.setText(String.valueOf(c));
    }
    else if (obj == b1)
    tf4.setText(formatter.format(f));
    }
    }

    Code moved out of introductions section.

    Please explain what your problem is. What have you tried and what happened?

    Please edit your post and wrap your code with code tags:
    [code=java]
    <YOUR CODE HERE>
    [/code]
    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    Thanks for trying to help me. The problem I had was when I pressed the "Example" button, the three textfields, tf1, tf2 and tf3 did not show the values 5000, 6 and 8. I just realized that was becasue of the getText methods I had assigned did not let setText methods to be executed. I enclosed all of getText method with "Enter" button and put all setText method items enclosed in "Example" button and then I get the desired effect.

    BTW, is there a way to increase the height of a textfield?.
