Hi Santosh,
How you are calling the new Frame? Please send me the code so that I can give suggestions.

Just create a method and use something like: frame2.setTextFieldText("Hello World");

[Fubarable]

its urgent

Best not to say this as nobody likes to be put under pressure, least of all volunteers.

can anybody send me a code. i have tried but i didnt get any solution.

This is not a code mill. Much better is to show what you've tried and perhaps we can help you find your way.

Hi,
I have written a piece of code as a sample.As Fubarable said,you should put ur code and ask the doubt.You shouldn't expect a complete code as u can't learn.

please give me any solution.

[RamyaSivakanth]

Hi Santosh,
Have you gone thru my code?
Get the logic and try to incorporate in your code.

[santhosh_el]

dear sir,

i am using netbeans 6.5,created simple swing GUI application ie form
frame1.java in that it has textfield and label enter any number and button called transfer.when right click the form,going to add from palette,it has features like swing containers,swing controls,swing menus,swing windows,AWT,Bean,java persistence.i am using swing windows i has features like frame ,dialog,filechooser,when i click frame does not appear.what is the problem.can give me solution.in that i want to create another textfield .when i click the button transfer in framr2.java the value in the textfield in frame1.java should appear in newly created textfleld this is my logic.my problem is when click the frame it does not appear.give me any solution.

thanks

Recommendation 1: to learn Swing, don't use NetBeans to generate your application. Doing this will set your Swing education back several months.

Here is an example where a JFrame holds a JTextField and the text in the JTextField can be sent to JTextFields held in two JDialogs. In the first JDialog, the dialog and frame's JTextFields share the same model, and so the text is sent instantaneously. In the second JDialog, the text is sent from the JFrame to the JDialog only when the frame's "send" button has been pressed:

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.text.Document;

public class ShareFieldData {
  private static void createAndShowUI() {
    // create the jframe, and two JDialog's panels.
    final MainFramePanel mainFramePanel = new MainFramePanel();
    final DialogPanel sendTextDialogPanel = new DialogPanel();
    final DialogPanel shareDocDialogPanel = new DialogPanel();
    
    // have the JTextField in the shareDocDialogPanel share model with
    // the mainFramePanel's JTextField
    shareDocDialogPanel.setDocument(mainFramePanel.getDocument());
    
    // give the mainFramePanel's send button an ActionListener
    // that sends its JTextField's text to the 
    // sendTextDialogPanel's JTextField
    mainFramePanel.addSendActionListener(new ActionListener() {
      public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        sendTextDialogPanel.setText(mainFramePanel.getText());
      }
    });
    
    // Create the JFrame and add our JPanel into it.
    JFrame frame = new JFrame("Main Frame");
    frame.getContentPane().add(mainFramePanel.getMainPanel());
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    frame.pack();
    frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
    
    // create the 2 JDialogs and add the jpanels into them
    JDialog shareDocDialog = new JDialog(frame, "Share Doc Dialog", false);
    shareDocDialog.getContentPane().add(shareDocDialogPanel.getMainPanel());
    shareDocDialog.pack();
    
    JDialog sendTextDialog = new JDialog(frame, "Send Text Dialog", false);
    sendTextDialog.getContentPane().add(sendTextDialogPanel.getMainPanel());
    sendTextDialog.pack();

    // position our dialogs and frame.
    int frameX = frame.getLocation().x;
    int frameY = frame.getLocation().y;
    int frameW = frame.getPreferredSize().width;
    int dialogW = sendTextDialog.getPreferredSize().width;
    
    int delta = 150;
    shareDocDialog.setLocation(frameX - delta, frameY - delta);
    sendTextDialog.setLocation(frameX + frameW + delta - dialogW, frameY - delta);
    
    // set them all visible, the jframe last so it has focus
    shareDocDialog.setVisible(true);
    sendTextDialog.setVisible(true);
    frame.setVisible(true);
