How to call a class within a method

[Manfizy]

Hi people,
I have a program that has two classes and am trying to call one classes within a method.How can i do this coz its really confusing me

Below is my code

package MyXenonConc;

import org.jdesktop.application.Action;
/**
 *
 * @author  MUNYA00M
 */
public class AboutBox extends javax.swing.JDialog {

    /** Creates new form AboutBox */
    public AboutBox(java.awt.Frame parent) {
        super(parent);
        initComponents();
       getRootPane().setDefaultButton(closeButton);
    }

    @Action public void closeAboutBox() {
        setVisible(false);
        
    }
    
   /** This method is called from within the constructor to
     * initialize the form.
     * WARNING: Do NOT modify this code. The content of this method is
     * always regenerated by the Form Editor.
     */
    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    
    // Variables declaration - do not modify
    private javax.swing.JButton closeButton;
    private javax.swing.JLabel jLabel1;
    // End of variables declaration

}

I am supposed to call the above class in another method which is in another class.
Anyone with an idea on how i can do thid??

your response will be highly appreciated

Thanx

do your "call" means construct a class object in another class?

if yes,
import this call in the other class
AboutBox ab = new AboutBox(xxx);

I want when a certain button is pressed,the about box class to be called and diplay the image in the frame
This is how i called the constructor

private void AboutMenuItemActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                              
// TODO add your handling code here:
 AboutBox aboutBox = new AboutBox(javax.swing.JDialog);

if (aboutBox == null) {
aboutBox = new TrendAboutBox(mainFrame);
            aboutBox.setLocationRelativeTo(mainFrame);
        }
}

where exactly am i goin wrong????

AboutBox aboutBox = new AboutBox(javax.swing.JDialog);

This is wrong. In the AboutBox class you don't have a constructor with the parameter JDialog. There is with awt Frame. You have to modify either of them on your application.
