import java.awt.event.*;

public class TravelAgentSystemGUI{

    public static void main (String args[]) {
	JFrame myJFrame = new JFrame();
    myJFrame.setSize(600,400);		//500 wide, 300 tall
    myJFrame.setLocation(150,250);	//150 across, 250 down
    myJFrame.setTitle("TravelAgentSystem");
    myJFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
    myJFrame.setResizable(true);	//allows user to resize the frame
    myJFrame.setVisible(true);		
	
 myJFrame.setLayout(new BorderLayout());       
 JPanel testPanel = new JPanel();
 testPanel.setLayout(new GridLayout(2,0));
 JButton moneyButton, timeButton, hotelButton, exitButton;
 moneyButton = new JButton("Money");
 timeButton = new JButton("Time");
 hotelButton = new JButton("Hotel");
 exitButton = new JButton("Exit");
 testPanel.add(timeButton);
 testPanel.add(moneyButton);
 testPanel.add(hotelButton);
 testPanel.add(exitButton);
 testPanel.setBorder( new TitledBorder( new EtchedBorder(),"Main Menu"));
 testPanel.setBackground(Color.RED);
 myJFrame.add(testPanel, BorderLayout.WEST);



TimeGUI handler = new TimeGUI( );
timeButton.addActionListener(handler);

myJFrame.add(airports);

}



}

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class TimeGUI implements ActionListener {
	public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
JComboBox airports = new JComboBox();
airports.addItem("East Midlands");

You need to tell us what is wrong with the code you've posted. Exactly what problems are you having?

Also, consider replying to replies in your last thread on this forum, if only to let me know that you've read the replies. We're volunteers, and that's how were "paid", by your thanks.

apologies you guys have been very helpful and are helping me gain a better understanding of the language. I really appreciate it and thank you for your time. the code below works. When i click on the TimeButton A Jlabel appears. But instead of this JLabel i want to display a JComboBox with a list of string. Been working at this for 4 hours and still no luck can someone give me an idea please.

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;

 public class events extends JFrame {
  private JLabel label;
  private JButton timeButton;
  private JButton moneyButton;
  private JButton hotelButton;
  private JButton exitButton;
  private JPanel testPanel;
  
  public events() {
      setLayout(new BorderLayout());
	  JPanel testPanel = new JPanel();
	  add(testPanel,BorderLayout.WEST);

      testPanel.setBackground(Color.RED);
	  
	 
	  timeButton = new JButton("Time");
	  testPanel.add(timeButton);
	  
	  moneyButton = new JButton("Price");
	  testPanel.add(moneyButton);
	  
	  hotelButton = new JButton("Price");
	  testPanel.add(hotelButton);
	  
	  exitButton = new JButton("Exit");
	  testPanel.add(exitButton);
	  
	  
	  
	  
	  label = new JLabel("");
	  add(label);
	  
	  
	  event e = new event();
	  timeButton.addActionListener(e);
	  
	  }
  
     public class event implements ActionListener {
	  public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)  {
	  label.setText("Now yoy can see words");
	  }
	
	}
	public static void main (String args[]) {
	events gui = new events();
	gui.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
	gui.setSize(600,400);
	gui.setVisible(true);
	gui.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
	gui.setTitle("Travel Agent System");

	}
}
