error line 16, how to edit?

What's the error you get there? Seems you have copied this code and don't know what's exactly happen. And I don't think that anyone wants to edit this code for you here in our community.

Post your complete error message and ask your question more clearly.

error line 16 shrink.addActionListener("this");

it mention
addActionListener(java.awt.event.ActionListener) in java.awt.Button can not be applied to (java.lang.String)

how to solve it?

[Fubarable]

The error message is telling you exactly what's wrong. You're passing a String to the addActionListener method when it's expecting an ActionListener object. Quotes around "this" make it a String. No quotes makes it refer to the current object. So get rid of the quotes.

Simply,

this

and

"this"

are completely two things.
