Re: Action Listeners for JTextFields

Odd you should say that. That is *not* the error I
am getting here, for *this* version of the code.

<sscce>
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;

class Test extends JFrame implements ActionListener {

  Test() {
    JPanel p1 = new JPanel();
    JTextField jtf = new JTextField();
    p1.add(jtf);
    this.add(p1);
    JButton jb = new JButton("Click Me!");
    this.add(jb);
    jb.addActionListener(this);
  }

  /** The action listener is implemented as follows */
  public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
    System.out.println(jtf.getText());
  }
}
</sscce>

D:\Test.java:18: cannot find symbol
symbol : variable jtf
location: class Test
        System.out.println(jtf.getText());

Why does it report "jtf can not be resolved", where
you are?

BTW. Note that I posted an SSCCE*. An SSCCE
helps to explain a problem to people, far better than
code snippets. Please consider posting SSCCE's,
rather than code snippets, in future.

This is usenet. It is not uncommon to wait 72 hours
before getting a reply - or no reply at all.
