I need to design a Paint Application using Java Technologies and i am having problems, i have finished with the GUI interface but adding the ActionListeners is really giving me problems. Am not really grounded in applying ActionListeners to GUI applications but am trying to read up.

I really need codes on MyPaint application.

Spiky,
First of all your MyPaint class needs to implement the ActionListener class from the java API.

eg.
public Class MyPaint extends JFrame implements ActionListener {

//assuming you are developing an application with a JFrame
}

Then for each component ie JButton myButton that you would like to the ActionListener to 'listen to' you would need register the component with a unique reference, such that when an event is triggered, ie You click myButton, the desired action is performed, eg paint();.

So within your MyPaint class, if you had a JButton called myButton, after general initialisation you would need to register the button.

eg. JButton myButton = new JButton();
myButton.setActionCommand("paint";
myButton.addActionListener(this);

After you have done this, you can then instruct the JVM to perform certain actions anytime (your myButton is clicked).

eg. public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {

String command = e.getActionCommand();

if (command.equals("paint") {

//I assume you have already created the paint method

paint();

}

Note that your unique reference in this scenario is "paint".

P.S Dont forget to import all necessary classes for event handling etc.

In this case you would need the following

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

You see your life and my life I and you both had a project work but we both came online to cheat
