Coding Structure

Hi there,

I have a question about how to set up my code. Basically I want to have a single class control my Socket to the Server, and I want every control on the applet to use that class, but I'm not sure how I set this up. I only want to write one piece of code to write things to the Socket, and I would like to just as the event for each control to it. Does this sound logical?
Any ideas how I do this? Would this class be an interface?

Thanks
