In the first window I am entering info into text fields, from that window I want to be able to open a second window with a JTextArea displaying the information from the textboxes from the first window. I want to then be able to close the second window without closing the first window.
I've done the first window fine and started to do the second window in a second class, but I don't know how to open the second window from the first window in the new class.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Hello there.You can create a button in the first window which will trigger the event of a new window

I won't give you any code, but I will give you this: How did you open your first window? You open your second window in the same way.

This is why JOptionPane were invented for

Check out the JFrame class: http://java.sun.com/...ing/JFrame.html

Pay special attention to two methods that are inherited from the Window class- setVisible() and dispose(). Feel free to post any problems you may be encountering when using these methods as well as the corresponding code. Good luck!

Thankyou for your help. I managed to do it by using a second class extending JFrame.
Thanks!
