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

[kumar.dinesh7]

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

        array x=new array();

}

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.....

[DarrylBurke]

Did you read wsaryada's response at #2?

db

[kumar.dinesh7]

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

[DarrylBurke]

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

[kumar.dinesh7]

i well understand what a reference is.

anyways thanx for the guidence db....
