java applet problem

[aaronkupen]

Does anyone know what this error message means?


C:\Documents and Settings\Aaron\My Documents\Java\Project1.java:13: Project1 is not abstract and does not override abstract method actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent) in java.awt.event.ActionListener
public class Project1 extends Applet implements ActionListener
^

If you want the code just reply and Ill send it.

To implement an interface (in this case ActionListener or ItemListener), you must write all the functions that the interface provides. One such function you're missing is actionPerformed(ActionEvent). If you put this function into your ChatClientApplication class, it will stop complaining.

Put this in your class:

Code:

public void actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent e)
{
}

Hope this helps!

Yeah that helped, but on my school computer, i didnt have to put the java.awt.event. before action event. Any ideas why?
