    Question Java Applet program to create different screen and link them together

    Hi,

    I'm very new to java, and currently learning some of the basics.

    What i need help on is how to program in java so that i can change from one window to another. Not really sure how to word this but here goes:

    For example, when i start the java applet, a login screen (window1) will appear, when a user enters username and password, when the user is verified, it "switches" to a different window (window2) to access the data.

    Any help much appreciated.

    Thanks in advance,
    -channi3

    Default Re: Java Applet Switching To Different Windows?

    Hello channi3 and welcome to the forums.

    Take a look at this code example and compile it.

    There is a main JFrame with a button on it. When this button is clicked, JFrame1 closes and opens JFrame2.

    Its just a matter of invoking the run method for each form when an action is performed and setting the visibility of the previous form to false.

    import javax.swing.*;   
    import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
    import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
     
    public class Channi3 {
     
        public static JFrame frame1 = new JFrame("Java Frame1");
        public static JFrame frame2 = new JFrame("Java Frame2");
     
        //Form1
        private static void createAndShowGUI1()  {
     
            frame1.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
     
            JButton button = new JButton("HI! IM JFRAME1 - CLICK ME TO OPEN FRAME 2");
            button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
                public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
                {
                    [B]frame1.setVisible(false);[/B]
                    System.out.println("Opening JFrame 2");
                    javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
                        public void run() {
                            [B]createAndShowGUI2();[/B]
     
                        }
                    });
                }
     
            });      
     
            frame1.getContentPane().add(button);
            frame1.pack();
            frame1.setVisible(true);
        }
     
     
        //Form2
        private static void createAndShowGUI2()  {
     
            frame2.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
     
            JButton button = new JButton("HI! IM JFRAME2 - CLICK ME TO OPEN FRAME 1");
            button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
                public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
                {
                    [B]frame2.setVisible(false);[/B]
                    System.out.println("Opening JFrame 1");
                    javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
                        public void run() {
                            [B]createAndShowGUI1();[/B]
     
                        }
                    });
                }
     
            });      
     
            frame2.getContentPane().add(button);
            frame2.pack();
            frame2.setVisible(true);
        }
     
     
     
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
                public void run() {
                    createAndShowGUI1();
                }
            });
        }
    }
