Question to the experts
I use both Netbeans 5.5 and Forte for java 4
how to call a j-frame from a main j-frame (frame to frame)
i have created a main J-frame and 8 sub j-frames in one class (package)
i find this as a conservative method and time efficient rather than individual java files for these are not internal frames but are regular frames
ive tried some methods to solve this either i get an error the whole window dissapears or nothing happens
in the Main J-frame there are buttons that you click to go to the next J-frame the same way "a-href" in HTML works in the same window and back
Lets say my project is a Finance project
i.e
Main J-Frame *****Contents
Menu:- ( TVM) ----------> button // opens TVM J-frame (J-Frame 2)
(Compound interest)------> button //Opens Compound Interest j-frame 3
etc
when you click the ---------> (TVM) button
it should open the TVM J-frame (J-frame in the same window) frame 2
this also applies when you click----> (Compound interest) opens J-frame 3
while the 2nd or 3rd frame is shown the main frame should be invisible
either this.dispose or HIDE_ON_CLOSE
while using action performed or mouse clicked to be assigned to a button
(action listeners) you get a message
i.e
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
//add your handling code here
now what code is to be placed here in order to achieve this
calling a j-frame (frame to frame)
Your help on this one
thanks
