What components do you want to add the action listener to?
I see that you are adding one to exit.
If you can add that one, can you copy the logic and code and use that for another?

BTW Event is the name of an existing java SE class. You should use your own, unique names for your classes.

Please have a look at these tutorials which should help you:
How to Write an Action Listener
How to Use Buttons, Check Boxes, and Radio Buttons
How to Use Menus

Then by all means, give it a go. If you get stuck or your code shows errors, please come on back and show us your code, any errors you may have and any specific questions you may have.

Also, if you post code, please use code tags so that the code will retain its formatting and be more readable. The link on this in my signature below can help show you how to do this. If it is in any way confusing, please don't hesitate to ask.

Best of luck!
