Hey there ppl.. I need help linking GUI's using Java Swing jframes. We havent gone over this in class and I cant find anything when googling. Basically I have the main window, then you hit a button and pulls up a form for data modifying.
tried doing new instances and just setting it to visible, but neither will work. It's probably just sytax...

this is what i've tried...

newEditGUI = new EditGUI;
temp EditGUI.setVisible(true);


//and this one...
EditGUI.setVisible(true);//after making the panel for the Gui invisible on startup..  
// this is not for homework... just a side project for organizing my bills..

but neither will work

In the future, please be more specific as to what isn't working. Are you encountering errors? Be specific.

In this instance, it was your syntax. This is what you need to do:

EditGUI temp = new EditGUI(); //<-- notice the parentheses for the constructor
temp.setVisible(true); // <-- invoke setVisible() from the Object, not the class

well I'm just trying to link the gui's ... I have no clue how to do it and cant find any good help. I get syntax errors everything i try.. Plus i also dont know if it matters as how i set it up, to how it will work. I tried your way of using the temp, it loads but turns black in a second.

I don't really have enough information to help you. We are the blind leading the blind at this point. To help you we will need:
-Your complete code

Ok, I used your code, set the EditGUI visibility to false on load... Then when i hit modify, it loads, but turns black..

//this is my "Modify" button on the first GUI
 EditGUI temp = new EditGUI();//here is the event my button does, brings up EditGUI
	temp.setVisible(true);


//this is how i set the EditGUI to not display on load..
public static void main(String args[]) {
        java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                new EditGUI().setVisible(false);
            }
        });
    }

nvm It's looking like a graphical error... the black goes away when you resize.. Guess i'll up date netbeans and see if that patches it.

[GregBrannon]

It's not a Netbeans problem. Netbeans is an editor.

[trulysick]

Yep youre right. Updates didnt help. It turns black untill you resize it... Anyone know how to fix this? If not i will just go ahead and use the panel trick or switch to tabbed menus
