Hi Everyone,
I am using NetBeans to do a project and i was
wondering whether i could do the follows:

have 2 files :
one.java ----------> has JFrame1 -----------> has button1,textbox1
two.java ----------> has JFrame2

and when button1 in JFrame1 is clicked JFrame2 should appear and the
value entered in textbox1 is to be sent to two.java so JFrame2 can use
it. Is this possible if so plz help me ASAP thanks for your help in

You can create a frame and populate its component values *before* you
call setVisible(true).

SecondFrame sf = new SecondFrame();
sf.setSomeValue(textOrOtherValue);
sf.setAnotherValue(someText);
sf.setVisible(true);

If the other frame needs to be modal and is just collecting information
temporarily, maybe a dialog is appropriate.
