What does "this" refer to in this context?

Hi guys:

Here is my code:

package myPackage;
public class TestClass {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		FrameClass newFrame = new FrameClass();
		newFrame.createFrame();
	}
}

package myPackage;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;

import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
public class FrameClass implements ActionListener{
	public void createFrame()
	{
		JFrame newFrame = new JFrame();
		newFrame.setVisible(true);
		newFrame.setSize(250, 250);
		newFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
		JButton myButton = new JButton();
		myButton.setText("I am a button!");
		newFrame.getContentPane().add(myButton);
		myButton.addActionListener(this);
	}
	@Override
	public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
	}
}

My question is:
myButton.addActionListener(this);

What does (this) do here?

Does it create a new object of Class FrameClass ?

"this" is a reference variable that points at the object for the currently executing code.
The "this" on line 13 refers to an instance of the FrameClass.

Thanks for the reply.

"this" refers to an instance of the FrameClass. Which istance is it ?

[Norm]

It will be the one that the method that is executing belongs to.
