ActionListener error

I'm reworking my code here and I get the following errors:

Class Component doesn't define a method addActionListener(). Usually that would be the method on AbstractButton/JButton/Button classes.

custRefButton is Component only but addActionListener is only defined for AbstractButton.

Btw: you never initialized custRefButton.
