Help!!!

I copied this code from school and it says that ...
public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent it) has illegal start of expression and ';' expected could someone please tell me how to fix it



}
public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent it)
{
if(it.getSource()==chkPencil)
{
intPencilCounter += 1;
dblPencilTotal=dblPencilPrice*intpencilCounter;
txaUserThings.serTexr("Pencils price: $" + dblPencilTotal +"\nNumber of pencils ordered "
+ intPencilCounter + "\n" + "\n");
}

Looks like your method is missing a closing curly bracket "}"

Luck,

I have a closing, I didn't copy the whole code so it doesn't appear if that's what you mean unless you mean somewhere else and if you do please tell me where.

It's going to be hard to help you if you don't show all the corresponding code... my crystal ball is in the shop for maintenance this week. What I was refering to is the following:

Code:

---

public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent it)
{
if(it.getSource()==chkPencil)
{
intPencilCounter += 1;
dblPencilTotal=dblPencilPrice*intpencilCounter;
txaUserThings.serTexr("Pencils price: $" + dblPencilTotal +"\nNumber of pencils ordered "
+ intPencilCounter + "\n" + "\n");
[COLOR="Red"][B]}//<-this is the closing bracket for the "if" statement... I don't see the closing bracket for the method[/B][/COLOR]

Luck,

Apparently, you have a missing closing bracket in the actionPerformed method. Check it out. When you correct that that missing closing bracket you will have an left over bracket at the very end of the code that you will have to get rid of.

check it out

That fixed the initial problem but now i have 22 errors saying cannot find symbol for example all of the following code cannot find symbol. Anything that has pnlTextField or setBackround says cannot find symbol and txaUserInformation.append("Name:" = + strName + "\n" + "Address:" + strAddress + "\n" + "E-mail:" + strEmail + "\n" + "Phone Number:" + strPhoneNumber); says the error is unexpecterd type and another says operator + cannot be applied to java.lang.string

Example of error code

pnlTextField.setBackround(Color.pink);
pnlTextField.setLayout(new GridLayout(6,2));
pnlTextField.add(new Label("Please enter yout information"));
pnlTextField.add(new Label(""));
pnlTextField.add(new Label("Name: "));
txtName.setForeground(Color.cyan);
txtName.setBackround(Color.black);

TextField txtPhoneNumber = new TextField (10);

I can't see any txaUserInformation in the list :( I think it was deleted or some... Check it out. Maybe the code you pasted here is not complete?

if you don't have the txaUserInformation in the original context you should declare it by yourself

TextField txaUserInformation=new TextField();

I think that should solve the problem :)
