data return between actionPerformed

[Paddy Totti]

Hi,
I has a main program which is JFrame, when a button click, I call another class to exlpore a Jframe which contain a textfield. My idea is when enter something in that textfield, the value can be stored,then that Jframe close, and then main program can get that value. However, this is not practical because the function in main class that call the second JFrame will end without waiting user enter value:
//this class prompt user enter text
TJPasswordField myField = new TJPasswordField();
System.out.println(myField.textValue);
This will print null each time because the class will end before user enter value.
So, anyone have a solution to this SIMPLE problem ???
