Well, you would have something relative to the following.

Java

FirstFrame first = new FirstFrame();
SecondFrame second = new SecondFrame();

// The FirstFrame class is your chat window, which
// will receive the text that you copied.

// The SecondFrame class has a textfield that you want to
// copy from eventually, correct?  Look at the next codebox
// to see a very basic sample of a SecondFrame class.

Java

class SecondFrame extends JFrame
{
    String textToCopy;
    JTextField text;

    //...constructors, other methods, etc.

    public void setText()
    {
        textToCopy = text.getText(); //get the TextField text
    }

    public String getCopiedText()
    {
        return textToCopy;
    }
}

Then, later in the program, when you want to copy the text over...

Java

// recall back to the first codebox

// TEXTFIELD is the place you want to set your text in.

first.TEXTFIELD.setText( second.getCopiedText() );

Hope this helps!
