is it possible..?

is it possible that minimizing a form will minimize another form also....??

If you have a reference to the other forms then it is possible to do it.

plz tell me how it is possible??
any example code will helps me better..

Plenty of example code of all sorts here: Trail: Creating a GUI With JFC/Swing (The Java™ Tutorials)

minizing the form will also minimize the textarea.

plz review this code and plz run this code atleast once to understand what i want to say.....

Did you read wsaryada's response at #2?

db

yes i read that but i didn't got a solution.

That *is* the solution. If you don't understand what a reference is, and don't know how to pass a parameter to a constructor or method, stop whatever you're doing with GUIs and learn the basics first: Passing Information to a Method or a Constructor (The Java™ Tutorials > Learning the Java Language > Classes and Objects)

db

i well understand what a reference is.

anyways thanx for the guidence db....
