Oh yeah sorry here the link Java Tips - How to create an e-mail client in Java

From the page linked:

public class ConnectDialog extends JDialog {
  private static final String[] TYPES = {"pop3", "imap"};
  private JComboBox typeComboBox;
  :
  :
    typeComboBox = new JComboBox(TYPES);
  :
  :
  public String getType() {
    return (String) typeComboBox.getSelectedItem();
  }

1) There's no reason for the class cast to blow up, which would anyways be a run time -- not compile time -- error.
2) The only Window class in the ancestors is java.awt.Window which doesn't have a getType() method.

The only possible reason I can see for that error is that you have your own package or packages and class or classes with names similar to the JDK classes, and that has messed up your imports.

@DarrylBurke
Yeah, that righ, there is some thing on my computer that cause I ca't use getType() method on this program,
yesterday night, I try it in my Laptop there is no problem

In Java Platform SE 7 the AWT.Window class implements the method getType() with a Window.Type return value. Downgrade your JDK or refactor your own method.
