Hey,

I was just wondering what is up with this. I got the framed class must implement inherited abstract class ItemListener.itemStateChange(ItemEvent); error when I tried to implement ItemListner, and it highlighted framed. I tryed my own version as this: GuideBook . I don't know what the issue is. I tried to google this issue, as well as cross reference the other example, and nothing. Could anyone shed some light on this? Thanks!

... OK... you renamed "itemStateChanged" to "actionPerformed." The compiler is looking for "itemStateChanged" because that's what ItemListener requires.

I simply changed the name back and the code ran fine.

Ok I see. Thanks!
