Passing data from one JFrame to another JFrame

[tarami]

Hi, I'm new to Java and completely out of conception how to solve my problem.

The trouble is that I have two JFrames.

JFrame1 has a JLabel and a JButton1.
JFrame2 has a JTextField and a JButton2

The interaction between the frames is as following:

When the JButton1 on JFrame1 is pressed the JFrame2 shows up. User enters some text in the JTextFields and then clicks the JButton2 on JFrame2. Then the JFrame2 disappears and the Label on JFrame1 is set with the text that has been entered in JTextField that was on JFrame2.

How can I do that?

First of all JFrame2 should be a JDialog as it is a child of JFrame1. The JDialog has an owner, which in your case is JFrame1. So when closing the JDialog you can pass information.
see this tutorial: How to Make Dialogs (The Java™ Tutorials > Creating a GUI with JFC/Swing > Using Swing Components)

Thank u for the answer.

What if I want to design a more sofisticated dialog window for, say, a personal details questionnaire with various visual components such as JFormattedTextFields, JSpinners, JComboBoxes?

We'd probably encourage you to "go for it." There's nothing about a JDialog that would stop you from doing this as it can accept just as much complexity in its content pane as a JFrame.
