JFrames

[senorita]

I am trying to activate one Jframe from another JFrame. I dont want to keep the first frame visible when the second one is visible, but by the click of button on second frame the second frame should close and first one be visible.
Both the frames are placed in seperate programs with main function in the program for first JFrame.
Can anyone help me with the code.
Thanx

The point where u make an obj of the 2nd JFrame , call dispose() method immediately after it .

1.) You should have only one main method
2.) Disposing a JFrame (dispose) and making it invisible (setVisible(false)) are two different things.

Thanx but the problem remains same. I have only one main method in the program which activates first JFrame. when a button on first JFrame is clicked second JFrame is made visible but how do i go BACK FROM SECOND JFrame to FIRST JFrame, if first is hidden or disposed.

In the second JFrame, add a link back to the first JFrame. That is, add a member JFrame variable, and in the constructor, request a variable of type JFrame.

Back in your first JFrame, when you make the second JFrame, pass it the this variable. When you're done in your second JFrame, set the first Frame visible again.

Thank you it worked.
