Calling JFrame B from JFrame A

Hello All,
I have two Classes A and B both extends JFrame.
From A i will to invoke B after disabling A
{A.setenabled(false);}

Now,
When i Close B, I want the
1) parent Frame (A)to be invoked back.
2) want to call a function in A(parent Frame)from within B ,before i go back to parent Frame A.
One Solution(don't know whether this is good )
is to register instance of A in B and use that
object throughout in B.
Is there a better Solution ???
what is the modal dialog funda!!
Can i use it here!!
Any clues!!
Thanks and Regards

Class A Extends JFrame
{
A()
{
}
public void x()
{
}
public void y()
{
}
}

Class B extends JFrame
{

}

Hi,
What you can do is , in A class when u open B instance dialog/frame, call
A.hide();
do operation in B frame & when u close B, call
A.setVisible(true);
The modal funda is you can make a dialog prevent user from clicking any background application, so the user is blocked from invoking another instance of the same dialog which is a very good feature. This is present only for JDialogs.
I dunno ur exact requirement so cant comment , otherwise I would have used A as a frame & B as a JDialog.

Hi Vinaya,
Yes, u can make B ur Dialog & insert ur components in it. Then u can call b.show() where show() is public & b is an object of B class or u can make show() static & directly call B.show() in A. The advantage of latter is u dont have to instantiate B, just call it directly , this is used incase u need to call show lot of times so creating objects unnecessarily is undesirable.
In the same way u can call A.X() where X() is a static method of A.
