    <p>I'm pretty new to programming, and I need to create a GUI for a pethouse program that allows the user to add, delete, and sort the records. </p> <p>The problem is that for whatever reason my <code>ActionListeners</code> are not working. The GUI opens fine enough, but if I click on a menu item, nothing happens. The Quit MenuItem doesn't do anything, nor does the add animal do anything. The delete doesn't work either (though that may also be a programming error on my part.)</p> <p>Here's the Code:</p> <pre><code>import java.awt.Color; import java.awt.Container; import java.awt.Dimension; import java.awt.FlowLayout; import java.awt.event.ActionEvent; import java.awt.event.ActionListener; import javax.swing.BorderFactory; import javax.swing.JButton; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JLabel; import javax.swing.JMenu; import javax.swing.JMenuBar; import javax.swing.JMenuItem; import javax.swing.JPanel; import javax.swing.JScrollPane; import javax.swing.JTabbedPane; import javax.swing.JTable; import javax.swing.JTextField; import javax.swing.border.Border; import javax.swing.table.DefaultTableModel; import scrap.knockoff; public class knockoff extends JFrame { private ButtonHandler handler; static int animals; static Color Backgroundcolor = Color.red; private JTable thelist; private JTextField search, breed, category, buyprice, sellprice; private JMenuBar menuBar; private JMenu menu; private JMenuItem menuAdd, menuDelete, menuQuit; private JLabel maintitle, breedquery, categoryquery, buypricequery, sellpricequery; private JButton sortbreed, sortcat, sortdog, sortratios, searchButton, add, delete, modify; private JPanel animalPane, sortPane, titlePane, searchPane, tablePane, optionPane; static Container container; static int recnumber; static String control[] = new String[100]; static double buyprices, sellprices, profitratios; static String BreedName, CategoryName; static String Pets[][] = new String[50][5]; public knockoff() { super("The Peel Pet House Program"); //This just changes the name at the top there. setSize(700, 600); Border paneEdge = BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(0, 10, 10, 10); JTabbedPane tabbedPane = new JTabbedPane(); tabbedPane.setLocation(0, 30); tabbedPane.setSize(200, 100); //These are our panels.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
