Thread: Help With JComboBox

package Components;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class JVideos extends JPanel implements ActionListener
{
	JLabel explainSelector = new JLabel("Please use the drop down menu\nto select a movie to rent.");
 
 
 
	public JVideos()
	{
		String[] movieStrings = {"Reservoir Dogs", "Memento", "Oldboy", "Inglorious Bastards", "Snatch",
					 "Slumdog Millionaire", "District 9", "Ip Man", "Gran Torino", "The Matrix"};
		JComboBox movieChoice = new JComboBox(movieStrings);
		JPanel 	panel = new JPanel();
		JLabel greenBox = new JLabel("Welcome to Greenbox");
		movieChoice.setSelectedIndex(0);
		movieChoice.addActionListener(this);
		panel.add(greenBox);
		panel.add(explainSelector);
		panel.add(movieChoice);
		this.add(panel);
 
		setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
		setLayout(new FlowLayout());
 
	}
 
 
 
 
	public void main(String[] args)
	{
		JVideos aFrame = new JVideos();
		final int WIDTH = 400;
		final int HEIGHT = 600;
		aFrame.setSize(WIDTH, HEIGHT);
		aFrame.setVisible(true);
	}
}

the errors im getting...
Components.JVideos is not abstract and does not override abstract method actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent) in java.awt.event.ActionListener
cannot find symbol method setDefaultCloseOperation(int)

This is the first Im working with comboboxes so my questions are
1.How do i get past these two error so that I can build error free?
2.What else would I need so that my I can have a GUI output with that information in it?

The panel parts Im not sure if I need, I just pulled it from another example hoping that it would work, before I had simply added those label using
add(explainSelector); . . . etc
if those lines work any better or would help to clean up the code to make it easier to work with I would like to switch back to that.

I have the listener in there so that I can later give the user further information once they select a film they would like to rent. I'll try to figure out how to create an event after they have selected a movie, any help there would also be much appreciated.

kinda was cut and pasted >.<
I had originally had the code outside the method and after seeing examples of others code I moved much of my code inside of the JVideos method. It would build before but after seeing others work I thought maybe it needed to be inside the method to call it in to play elsewhere a much easier way. Ill look through your suggestion, thanks!
I'll clean up the code more and repost if I get it working or get new errors I'll update the post in case anyone else finds it useful once I have working code.

package Components;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class JVideos extends JFrame implements ActionListener
{
	JLabel explainSelector = new JLabel("Please use the drop down menu\nto select a movie to rent.");
 
 
	public void actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent e)
	{
	}
 
	public JVideos()
	{	
		super("Greenbox Rentals");
		String[] movieStrings = {"Reservoir Dogs", "Memento", "Oldboy", "Inglorious Bastards", "Snatch",
					 "Slumdog Millionaire", "District 9", "Ip Man", "Gran Torino", "The Matrix"};
		JComboBox movieChoice = new JComboBox(movieStrings);
		JLabel greenBox = new JLabel("Welcome to Greenbox");
 
		add(greenBox);
		add(explainSelector);
		add(movieChoice);
		movieChoice.setSelectedIndex(0);
		movieChoice.addActionListener(this);
		setLayout(new FlowLayout());
		setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
 
	}
 
 
 
 
	public void main(String[] args)
	{
		JVideos aFrame = new JVideos();
		final int WIDTH = 400;
		final int HEIGHT = 600;
		aFrame.setSize(WIDTH, HEIGHT);
		aFrame.setTitle("Greenbox Videos");
		aFrame.setVisible(true);
	}
}

okay, I've cleaned up my code and as far as I can tell it should run. It build but the when I run it so that my GUI shows up I am getting

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: main
Exception in thread "main"
Process completed.


and nothing is actually happening

wow... thank you so much, haha. its always something simple

--- Update ---

wohoo, i can finally begin on the rest of the project where clicking these things actually does something!
