Handling TextExevents plsssssss

[Nandito]

Hello Javanauts..<br><br>I have an applet that takes values from textfields and by pressing a button it does some calculations.<br>However I wanted to know how would I use without a button.<br>Ie put values in the textfield and listen the textfields for the values.<br><br>I tried to use the TextListener but I get an error <br><br>ie: atextField.addTextField(this);<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>public void textValueChanged(TextEvent ev)<br>{ Object ob = ev.getSource();<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;if (ob == atextField)<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{ TakeTheValue();<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}<br>&nbsp;}<br><br>

Maybe you should write: atextField.addTextListener(this)<br><br>Bye, Otto.<br>

Yess sorry I did that...I miss-typed the question it was meant to be<br>atexField.addTextListener(this);<br><br>but still am getting the error...
