You likely have two TF1 objects, one that is declared in the class and never initialized and one declared in the method or constructor whose partial code we see above. Please realize that the two objects are completely unrelated, that while you are constructing the one in the constructor (or method) and adding it to your app, that this does nothing to the other one that you likely have in your class.

what if you change this line:

JTextField TF1=new JTextField("y",50);

to this:

TF1=new JTextField("y",50);

?
