• use Swing instead of AWT (JFrame - Frame, JButton - Button, JComboBox - Choice...)

• read Oracle tutorial how to use JFormattedTextField, instead of parsing value from AWT TextField

Thanks I will try that

Here is my updated code. I know I need some kind of listener for my 4 JComboBox. What kind of listener do I need and how do I make it usable in my program?
