    Other classes contains JButtons, JTextField.. I have a program it reads a FEN notation and scans it. After that it puts the chess pieces on the board as the FEN describes. I need help with the code, i have to finish this its important for me. Thanks in advance guys!

    Controller class:
    package controller;
     
    import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
    import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
    import java.awt.*;
     
    import javax.swing.*;
     
    import model.Fen;
    import view.ControlPanel;
    import view.InfoPanel;
    import view.ChessBoardView;
     
     
    public class Controller extends JFrame implements ActionListener
    {
    	private InfoPanel infopanel;
    	private ControlPanel controlpanel;
    	private Fen fen;
        private ChessBoardView chessboardview;
     
        public Controller()
        {
            super("Chess Manager");
            makeFrame();   
            makeMenuBar();
            this.pack();   
        }
     
        private void makeFrame(){
            setSize(1050, 1050);
            setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
     
            setResizable( false );
     
            Container contentpane = super.getContentPane();
            contentpane.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
            contentpane.setBackground(new Color(204,229,255)); 
     
            controlpanel = new ControlPanel(this);
            contentpane.add(controlpanel, BorderLayout.EAST);
     
            infopanel = new InfoPanel();
            contentpane.add(infopanel, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
     
            chessboardview = new ChessBoardView();
            contentpane.add(chessboardview, BorderLayout.WEST);     
        }
     
        private void makeMenuBar(){
            JMenuBar menubar = new JMenuBar();

            infobar .setPreferredSize(new Dimension(500, 150));
            infobar .setBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.BLACK));
            infobar .setEditable(false);
            add(infobar, gbc); 
        }
     
        public String getFen(){
        	return fenbar.getText();
        }
    }

    the code has to to something like this
    String input = fenbar.getText();
    fen.scanner(input);
    fen.scanFen();
    chessboardview.addSquaresAndPiecesToPanel();

    Default Re: I Need help with my ActionListener, ActionPerformed and Operations

    I need help with the code
    The probability of getting help goes up substantially if you ask a specific question. I for one can only guess as to the problem.
