Simply create a method updateState() as following:

protected void updateState() {
    boolean enabled = wtdl.getSelectedItem().equals("Droped");
    txt_reason.setEnabled(enabled ); 
    lab.setEnabled(enabled );
}

and call it after you have initialized your components and in your actionPerformed()
