I'm so sorry but this not make sense to me. Figured out that if I can find a way to cast the e.getSourse I will achieve what I want, mean something like

JButton button = (JButton)e.getSourse();

I have this but can't use getters and setters methods that I created in CoordButton method. Also, if I change the line with...

CoordButton button = (CoordButton)e.getSourse();

underline both CoordButton with error "CoordButton can't resolve to a type"..Any idea?

class GUIClass {

     JButtons buttons...

     OtherClass oc = new OtherClass( this );

     // create getters for the buttons

     ...

}



class OtherClass implements ActionListener { 

    GUIClass theGUICLass;

    public OtherClass( GUIClass theGUiClass ) {

       this.theGUIClass = theGUIClass;

    }

    actionPerformed() { ...

           src = getSource ...

           use theGUIClass object to gain reference to buttons in your GUIClass

    }

}

The problem is that getters for the buttons are in inner class, that's why OtherClass does not recognised it

[lethalwire]

Then create a getter to get the object of the inner class? I'm not sure I understand. Perhaps the design of your mvc needs some rethinking.

Hmm...I will try to rethink my structure
