    What don't you understand about it? Have you stepped through it with a debugger or at least added some print statements to help figure out what's going on?

    Yeah I've read through it. Everything in it works fine. Basically the problem is I'm just a beginner I don't understand how the methods in it work . I'm trying to create a simpler GUI just like it. A simple add, edit and delete GUI that prints my saved data in an array.

    Let me guess: this code was created by a gui builder, right? Most people would advise against using a gui builder until you understand what it's doing behind the scenes.
