Steps to handle events:

1. Implement appropriate interface in the class.
2. Register the component with the listener.

public class Test extends Applet implements KeyListener { String msg="";

public void init()

{

addKeyListener(this);

}

public void keyPressed(KeyEvent k)

{

showStatus("KeyPressed");

}

public void keyReleased(KeyEvent k)

{ showStatus("KeyRealesed");

}

public void keyTyped(KeyEvent k)

{

msg = msg k.getKeyChar();

repaint();

}

public void paint(Graphics g)
