Thread: need help with my code!

hey everyone,

i have been struggling with 2 frames.
the question here is, how can you let a frame disappear and let another one appear.
im making a game and when i click on start it needs to show another frame.

can someone help me with this?

got the whole code here:

import java.awt.Color;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
 
 
public class RushhourStart
{
 
        public static void main(String [] args)
        {
 
                JFrame frame = new JFrame();
                frame.setSize(700, 700);
                frame.setTitle("Rushhour");
                frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
                frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame. EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
                frame.setVisible(true);
 
                makegame(frame);       
 
        }
 
public static void makegame(JFrame frame)
 
        {
 
                        JFrame gameframe = new JFrame();
            gameframe.setSize(700, 700);
            gameframe.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
            gameframe.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame. EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
 
 
            makeBord panel = new makeBord();
            panel.setLayout(null);
            panel.setBackground(Color.black);
            frame.add(panel);
 
            JButton Start = new JButton("START SPEL");
            Start.setBounds(250, 100, 200, 50);
            panel.add(Start);
            Start.addMouseListener(panel);
 
            JButton Highscore = new JButton("HIGHSCORES");
            Highscore.setBounds(250, 180, 200, 50);
            panel.add(Highscore);
 
            JButton Exit = new JButton("Exit");
            Exit.setBounds(250, 260, 200, 50);
            panel.add(Exit);
 
    }
 
 
}
 
 
 
 
 
 
// second class:
 
 
import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;
import java.awt.event.MouseListener;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
 
public class makeBord extends JPanel implements MouseListener {
 
 
        @Override
        public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent arg0) {
 
        }
 
        @Override
        public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent arg0) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
 
        }
 
        @Override
        public void mouseExited(MouseEvent arg0) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
 
        }
 
        @Override
        public void mousePressed(MouseEvent arg0) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
 
        }
 
        @Override
        public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent arg0) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
 
        }
 
}

i want the first frame to dissapear when i click on start. it has to open gameframe.

whats the code for that/solution?

well if i set false on the first jframe, theres no opening menu

JFrame does not give the option to set the modality, so a JDialog is a much better choice for a second or child window to open from a JFrame. Also, you should be controlling the GUI elements from another class, as in a Model-View-Controller design, so that the program flow is not dependent upon the existence of or controlled by a particular GUI instance that may come and go.

im going to look into a CardLayout, thanks for helping!

well greg its for a game, when i press Start it should open a frame and let the other dissapear (or be on top of the other one)

edit: will look into JDialog as well
