******** Need to add any button activated ACTION EVENT***********

Question

Can anyone help me add any type of ACTION EVENT /ACTION LISTENER TO THIS CODE
PLEASE REVIEW AND COMPILE IF NECESSARY. Ensure that it compiles without errors. Currently it compiles without errors. It opens up as a GUI window that accepts a password. If anyone could just add a button to it that will do just about anything, time check, date check whatever it would be great!!!!! THIS WAS COMPILED WITH THE JGRASP COMPILER JAVA ACCEPTED
Thank you all,

Hi java-luv,
I am not sure if I understand the problem. But I was able to add a JButton to your code (using the JBuilder designer). The button just exists the application. Please check the listing below. Hope this helps.

public class TimeEntryForm extends Panel
private Panel tallPanel = new Panel();

private JButton jButton1 = new JButton();
public TimeEntryForm() {
tallPanel.setLayout(new GridLayout(3, 1));
tallPanel.add(new Label("Hrs Total"));
tallPanel.add(new Label("Any"));
tallPanel.add(new Label("One"));
tallPanel2.setLayout(new GridLayout(3, 1));
tallPanel2.add(new Label("Personal Leave "));
tallPanel2.add(new Label("Hrs Total "));
tallPanel2.add(new Label("Pay Calc "));
setLayout(new GridBagLayout());
