Programming Issues, JForm second window wont open.

[DarkJ3JB]

The code pasted below has two seprate windows, an Original Menu, and a Build Menu. When i click on my third button (jbutton3) (Build Grid) on the original menu it should open up the build menu as a seprate window, instead it is rearranging my original menu. I've attached images to explain my problem, please help me solve this. Thanks.

So you want it to display a new window, but where in this code do you ever create a new window (a new JFrame or JDialog)? If you don't tell the program to do this, it is not going to magically know that you want it done. There are other things wrong with this code including trying to call Swing code in a background Thread off of the Swing man Thread. I strongly urge you to read the Swing tutorials to learn how to create new windows and the other important aspects of Swing.

Much luck
