How to Connect Frames Using NetBeans

Instructions

1

Open NetBeans and the Java project you want to edit, then double-click the file for the first frame you want to use to link to another frame.

2

Create the second frame by adding the following code:

JFrame frame2 = new JFrame("My Frame");

Change the "My Frame" text to your own title for the frame.

3

Open the frame and set its visibility status so it displays on the user's desktop. The following code links and opens the second frame:

frame2.setVisible(true);

4

Save the frame code changes and click NetBeans' "Run" button to execute the code in the debugger.
