Hello friends, thank you very much for your quick replies and helped me a lot to solve my previous problem.
This time i have a different question.

How do i make a frame to be hidden and open another one when a button is clicked..

I have written this code in the actionperformed event of one button in frame1


But the error i receive is show() method is deprecated and as well as frame2 is not available. I mean it is treated as an undeclared variable. The intellisense didn't recognized it.

frame1 is one java file and frame2 is another one.

Please hep me to overcome the problem...

show is deprecated, and doesn't take an argument anyway, as a quick glance at the API documentation will tell you. hide was its equivalent, but you should use setVisible(false) as the poster says above.

Do you have a variable named like that? Maybe you could show some code.

You need to create an instance of the frame in your second file. i.e. if your other class is called MyFrame, and extends JFrame, you will need something like Try a book like Head First Java to get you going.

Topic moved to the Swing forum; as it's probably a more appropriate location.
