You should not start doing GUI programming, which is hard, if you don't know the difference between an attribute and a method, and don't know how to find and read javadoc. Read an introductory Java, or even programming book, and practice with simple, console-based exercises. Also learn to indent your code, respect Java naming conventions, and choose good names for your variables. `strString1` and `txtText1` are really awful names. — JB Nizet, Aug 21 '13 at 07:15

drawString is a method and not a variable. So you need to pass the parameters to method instead of assigning them. You need to change this:

objG.drawString="strString 1,202,42";

to:

objG.drawString(strString1,202,42);

@Junel you are not using what i recommended: replace this objG.drawString("strString 1,202,42"); with objG.drawString(strString1,202,42); – Juned Ahsan Aug 21 '13 at 07:23
