How to use ActionListener and ItemListener in the same class

Question

Why can't I use both ActionListener and ItemListener in the same Class?
I want to use a drop down list and an entry box on the same form.
How? I'm having trouble compling......
Thanks!
CODE:
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class Disp extends Applet implements ActionListener, ItemListener
{ TextField entry=new TextField(7);
Button Enter=new Button("Enter");
public void init()
add(entry);
add(Enter);
entry.addActionListener(this);
entry.requestFocus();
Enter.addActionListener(this);
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent thisEvent)
String answer=entry.getText();

Answer 1

Simply get your Applet to implement both ActionListener and ItemListener.
public class MyApplet extends Applet implements ActionListener, ItemListener
  public void init()
    itemWidget.addItemListener(this):
    actionWidget.addActionListener(this);
  public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
    System.out.println("ACTION PERFORMED!");
  public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent e)
    System.out.println("ITEM STATE CHANGED!");
}Hope this helps.
