Reset or Clear button

Hello forum members,

I am currently working on an applet and need to include a clear or reset button and have researched with no solution found. I want to reset the name text field to be blank and ready to receive a new name.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

My code as follows:

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

public class Culinaryapp extends Applet implements ActionListener
{
	Label nameLabel;
	Label genderLabel;
	Label ageLabel;
	Label highesteducationLabel;
	Label degreeselectLabel;
	Label skilllevelLabel;
	Label whenstartLabel;
	
	TextField nameInput;
	Button submit;
	Button clear;
	
	Choice ageInput;
	Choice highesteducationInput;
	Choice degreeselectInput;
	Choice whenstartInput;
	
	CheckboxGroup genderInput;
	CheckboxGroup skilllevelInput;
	
	String name;
	String gender;
	String age;
	String highesteducation;
	String degreeselect;
	String skilllevel;
	String whenstart;
	
	
	public void init() 
	{
		setSize(600, 400);
		
		nameLabel = new Label ("Enter your name: ");
		genderLabel = new Label ("Select your gender: ");
		ageLabel = new Label ("Select your age: ");
		highesteducationLabel = new Label ("Select your highest education: ");
		degreeselectLabel = new Label ("Select the degree you wish to pursue: ");
		skilllevelLabel = new Label ("Select your skill level in the culinary field: ");
		whenstartLabel = new Label ("Select how soon you are able to start: ");
		
		nameInput = new TextField(10);
		submit = new Button("Submit");
		clear = new Button("Clear");
		
		genderInput = new CheckboxGroup();
		skilllevelInput = new CheckboxGroup();
		
		ageInput = new Choice();
		ageInput.addItem("15");
		ageInput.addItem("16");
		ageInput.addItem("17");
		ageInput.addItem("18");
		ageInput.addItem("19");
		ageInput.addItem("20");
		ageInput.addItem("21");
		ageInput.addItem("21 - 25");
		ageInput.addItem("26 - 30");
		ageInput.addItem("31 to 40");
		ageInput.addItem("41 to 50");
		ageInput.addItem("50 and older");
		
		highesteducationInput = new Choice();
		highesteducationInput.addItem("GED");
		highesteducationInput.addItem("High School");
		highesteducationInput.addItem("Some College");
		highesteducationInput.addItem("Associate Degree");
		highesteducationInput.addItem("College Degree");
		highesteducationInput.addItem("Post-Graduate Degree");
		
		degreeselectInput = new Choice();
		degreeselectInput.addItem(" Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Arts");
		degreeselectInput.addItem("Patisserie and Baking");
		
		whenstartInput = new Choice();
		whenstartInput.addItem("1 Week");
		whenstartInput.addItem("1 Month");
		whenstartInput.addItem("3 Months");
		whenstartInput.addItem("6 Months");
		whenstartInput.addItem("more than 6 Months");

add(nameLabel);
		add(nameInput);
		
		add(genderLabel);
		add(new Checkbox ("Male", genderInput, true));
		add(new Checkbox ("Female", genderInput, false));
		
		add(ageLabel);
		add(ageInput);
		
		add(highesteducationLabel);
		add(highesteducationInput);
		
		add(degreeselectLabel);
		add(degreeselectInput);
		
		add(skilllevelLabel);
		add(new Checkbox ("Begginer", skilllevelInput, true));
		add(new Checkbox ("Advanced", skilllevelInput, false));
		
		add(whenstartLabel);
		add(whenstartInput);
		
		
		add(submit);
		
		submit.addActionListener(this);
		
		add(clear);
		
		clear.addActionListener(this);
	}
	public void paint(Graphics g)
	{
		g.drawString("Name: " + name, 10, 150);
		g.drawString("Gender: " + gender, 10, 180);
		g.drawString("Age: " + age, 10, 210);
		g.drawString("Highest Education: " + highesteducation, 10, 240);
		g.drawString("Preferred Degree: " + degreeselect, 10, 270);
		g.drawString("Skill Level: " + skilllevel, 10, 300);
		g.drawString("Start Time: " + whenstart, 10, 330);
		
		
	}
	
	public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
	{
		name = nameInput.getText();
		gender = genderInput.getSelectedCheckbox().getLabel();
		age = ageInput.getSelectedItem(); 
		highesteducation = highesteducationInput.getSelectedItem();
		degreeselect = degreeselectInput.getSelectedItem();
		skilllevel = skilllevelInput.getSelectedCheckbox().getLabel();
		whenstart = whenstartInput.getSelectedItem();
		
		if (e.getSource() == clear)
		{
		}
		
		repaint();
	}
	
}

Then you would put a line of code between lines 145 and 146 to do that. Was that your question? Or did you mean to ask which line of code you should put there?

Put these lines of code between the lines 145 to 146:

Thank you so much Paul and Naishadh for your help; I actually played around with the code before posting for help and almost got to that same code, but this worked perfect, thank you I appreciate it!!

Hi, well I thought of another quick question. When I run the applet on Eclipse, the labels are all over the applet.

1.- Is there a way to organize the applet contents, like in columns or rows.
2. Is there a way to move the second part of the applet. (name, gender, age, etc.), I would like to move it down a little to make more room for the labels.

Your help is really appreciated.

Thank you.

David
