You can make the text an instance variable of the object that you want to take the text from, and then access it later in the program by accessing that variable.

Well, you would have something relative to the following.

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.

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...

// 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!
