I have a Point Of Sales and i want when items are sold, the items sold are deleted from database and show number of remaining items in a jlabel or jtextfield. I have tried the code but i cant make it. I appreciate your help.

The first thing your going to need to do is learn swing so you can setup a basic window.
Your going to need to import a bunch of things:

import javax.swing.*; // For swing library components
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;// For Action listener

Here is a swing example at the most basic level:

/*
	The program demonstrates the use of JFrame
	It sets the title to Hello World

*
*/

import javax.swing.*; // Needed for the swing class

public class HelloWorld extends JFrame
{
	public HelloWorld()
	{ 
		// Sets the size of the window

		setSize(300, 200);

		// Sets the title of the window

		setTitle("This is a Hello World Frame");

		// Sets the action when the user clicks on the X of the window

		setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

		// Sets the window to be visible

		setVisible(true);

	}

	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		new HelloWorld();
	}
}

Thanks but am not getting how i can reduce the stock when an item is sold.

[MattDelly]

Create a variable containing the stock and use a counter

int cheese = 2;
if(cheese == sold)
cheese--;
