Can someone pleas give me an example of a buton listener!

Question

I a newbie to java and have been using Java Programming for Dummies to learn java. Unfortunitely the book doesn't give an example of a button listener in a layout form so beginning java programmers can make their own button listeners. So, can anyone give me an example of a button listener I can personalize for my own applets?

Answer 1

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.applet.*; // if it's to be an applet
public class TestAButton extends Applet implements ActionListener {
/* coding a Frame, don't implement ActionListener*/
private Button okButton;
public void init() {
/* instead of a constructor for Frame*/
okButton = new Butoon("OK");
okButton.addActionListener(this);
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
Object source = e.getSource();
if ( source == okButton) {
doSomething();
Good luck !
