okButton.setBounds(20,20,1150,30);
add(okButton);

//like
if(okButton)

This may help you:

okButton.addActionListener(new MyAction());
public class MyAction implements ActionListener{
  public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae){
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "This is the simple message 
    dialog box.", "Roseindia.net", 1);
  }
}
