    Post What is wrong with my code? Handling button events in eclipse standard 4.4? Java?

    Code:
    package button;
    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    public class Actions extends JFrame implements ActionListener
    {
    JPanel pnl = new JPanel();
    public static void main (String[] args)
    {
    Actions gui = new Actions();
    }
    JButton btn1 = new JButton("Submit");
    JButton btn2 = new JButton("Cancel");
    JTextField txt1 = new JTextField("Message to:",38);
    JTextField tx1 = new JTextField("Subject:",38);
    JTextArea txt = new JTextArea("Essay:",5,37);
    JScrollPane pane = new JScrollPane(txt);
    public Actions()
    {
    super ("Button");
    setSize(500,250);
    setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    add(pnl);
    setVisible(true);
    pnl.add(txt1);
    pnl.add(tx1);
    pnl.add(pane);
    pnl.add(btn1);
    pnl.add(btn2);
    btn2.setEnabled(false);
    btn1.addActionListener(this);
    btn2.addActionListener(this);
    if (event.getSource() == btn1)
    {btn2.setEnabled(true); btn1.setEnabled(false);}
    if (event.getSource() == btn2)
    {btn2.setEnabled(false); btn1.setEnabled(true);}
    }
    }



    Errors:
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problems:
    The type Actions must implement the inherited abstract method ActionListener.actionPerformed(ActionEvent)
    event cannot be resolved
    event cannot be resolved

    at button.Actions.<init>(Actions.java:4)
    at button.Actions.main(Actions.java:9)

    Please edit your post and wrap your code with code tags:
    [code=java]
    YOUR CODE GOES HERE
    [/code]
    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.

    It looks like you left out some code for this program. See the tutorial for how to write listeners:
    Lesson: Writing Event Listeners (The Java™ Tutorials > Creating a GUI With JFC/Swing)
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
