Please use code tags when posting code. What exactly is the problem you are having?
Is the code showing errors or producing invalid output?

Welcome to the forum! Thanks for taking the time to (almost) learn how to post code correctly. If you haven't already, please read this topic to learn other useful info for new members.

We won't assume what you mean by "but its (not) doing what i want it to." Please give the details, post the complete messages of all errors you want help with, and ask specific questions. You should also comment your code so that you can outline what the code is supposed to be doing as well as communicate that to others reading your code.

I'm curious, adding Swing components to the content pane hasn't been necessary since Java 1.4. What source are you using to learn this?

Thanks for your response. i am using Netbean 8.0 and It gives an error message saying,

java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Uncompilable source code - db.Example is not abstract and does not override abstract method actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent) in java.awt.event.ActionListener
at db.Example.<clinit>(Example.java:16)

[JAVA CODE]

package db;

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

public abstract class Example extends JFrame implements ActionListener{

public Example(){
Container con=getContentPane();
con.setLayout(new FlowLayout());

/* i want to put a name label,text filed,and button on a container and when the is clicked, a thank you message button shows */

JLabel Myname=new JLabel ("Name");
JTextField TxtName=new JTextField(20);
JLabel RegNumber=new JLabel ("Reg No.");
JButton SaveButton= new JButton("Save");
con.add(Myname);
con.add(TxtName);
con.add(RegNumber);
con.add(SaveButton);
SaveButton.addActionListener(This);
}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e, Object SaveButton) {
Object Source=e.getSource();
if (Source==SaveButton)
System.out.println("Thank You");
}

When you override a method, you must copy the method's signature EXACTLY as it is defined. Any changes to the signature prevents it from being an override.

The compiler can not find the correct definition for the actionPerformed() method. Read the API doc to see how to correctly define it and change the code.

Please edit your post and wrap your code with code tags:
[code=java]

[/code]
to get highlighting and preserve formatting.
