Welcome to the forum! Please read this topic to learn how to post code in code or highlight tags and other useful info for new members.

Please post your code correctly using code or highlight tags per the above link.

Give your classes meaningful, useful names that start with capital letters. We generally do not help with GUI code generated by drag-and-drop code generators.
