	JPanel p1=new JPanel(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT,2,2));


	private JTextField jtfNum1=new JTextField(4);
	private JTextField jtfNum2=new JTextField(4);
	private JTextField jtResult=new JTextField(4);

		frame.setVisible(true);
	}
	
	public SimpleCalculator(){
		
		p1.add (new JLabel("Number 1"));
		p1.add(jtfNum1);
		
		p1.add(new JLabel("Number 2"));
		p1.add(jtfNum2);
		
		p1.add(new JLabel("Result"));
		p1.add(jtResult);
		jtResult.setEditable(false);
		
		
		
		
		p2.add(jbtadd); 
		p2.add(jbtsubtract);
		p2.add(jbtmultiply);
		p2.add(jbtdivide);
		
		jbtadd.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
			public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
				//messsagePanel.moveLeft();
			}
		});
		jbtsubtract.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
			public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
				//messsagePanel.moveLeft();
			}
		});
		jbtmultiply.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
			public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
				//messsagePanel.moveLeft();
			}
		});
		
		jbtdivide.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
			public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
				//messsagePanel.moveLeft();
			}

edited thought you didnt have a panel i see you do. I havent used your method of nesting main within the frame class and creating a frame within the frame class. maybe someone can comment if there are any issues there.

pottential issue. your panel doesnt implement action listener. your frame does.

i did a class with a key listener which should work like an action listener. when i added the key listener directly to the text field, i.e. the key listener class is nested in the textfield control, neathier my panel or frame should implement KeyListener. it complains my panel is not overriding abstract method ( in your case probably action listener). and its not. only my textfield is. i dont need to implement anything.


this compiles

import javax.swing.*;

import java.awt.event.*;

public class keypress
{


public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setTitle("keypress");
frame.setSize(325,150);
frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

mypanel panel = new mypanel();
frame.add(panel);

frame.setVisible(true);
}
}

class mypanel extends JPanel
{
JTextField box;
JLabel alabel;
mypanel()
{

alabel = new JLabel("hi there");
box = new JTextField(30);
//box.setFocusable(true);
box.addKeyListener(new KeyListener() {public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
	int a=e.getKeyCode();
	if(a == 10)
		box.setText("enter pressed");
    }

   public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) {;
	
    }

  
    /** Handle the key-released event from the text field. */
    public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e) {;
	
    }

}

);
add(box);
add(alabel);

}

}
