Components and event handling

[Mellisa]

Hi!

I need help to develop an applet that represents a cash register. Amounts of money can be entered into a text field and are automatically added to the running total. As each amount of money is entered,the running total is updated and displayed. Abutton allows the sum to be cleared (or made Zero).

Please help me .

Here is a start to help you a little. I assume that you already know a bid of Java

TextField texty = new TextField;
Button reset, add;
String s;
Int i;

//between this amd the next is the init and stuff...

//The stuff you need to use in the add button handler

s = texty.getText();
i = i + Integer.parseInt( s ); //don't know if this works...I actually never tried, If it doesn't use another int and add it with int i.
repaint();

//in the reset button handler

texty.setText = "";
i = 0;
repaint();

//the paint methode ...don't use it in the handler

public void paint( Graphics g) {

g.drawString("The amount is" + i );
}


This is one of the many ways to do it...
