Showing a new frame

[Franco Fellico']

Hi.

I am creating my first Java program (with Jbuilder 7) and clicking a
PushButton I would like to open a new Form (modal or modeless) and
then close it. What is the code to do that?

Thank you from Franco

Java learners are best helped on a different group..

..(with Jbuilder 7) ..

Stop it. You won't learn much that way.

..and clicking a PushButton

...when it introduces proprietary classes such as PushButton, or..

..I would like to open a new Form
...Form.

..(modal or modeless) and
then close it. What is the code to do that?

You have two choices, as I see it.

- Stop programming 'borland' and learn Java first*, or
- Ask Borland how to use their classes.

For the former, go to c.l.j.help.
But consider this advice about GUI application's first..

Hint: "new JFrame ... " or "new JDialog..."

Thank you Andrew.

I know that first of all I must learn Java language, but I am doing it
"in parallel" with a lot of test so, to go quickly, I prefer to learn
it using the IDE that I have selected to be my future platform.

I write programs and components from more then 40 years and I know
many languages: different assemblers, Cobol, Visual basic and Pascal
(that I use with Delphi IDE that I know very well) so I am sure that I
can learn also Java not only teorically, but reading tutorial and in
the same time testing each method immediately using a simple IDE.

So, I thank you for your suggestions about what I must read; I am yet
reading many and many tutorials but I was unable to find a answer to
my need.

Ann, as you can read here, said me that I must use "new JFrame" but in
may case yet I have a object Frame (named MyFrame2) created using the
IDE, so I need only to show it (in Delphi when I have a frame created,
to see it I need only to show it using the show method).

I will read sure also what you suggest me, but if you can write here a
statement that can show the frame MyFrame2 that jBuider yet have
created for me, that will be a good help to continue my study.

My experience in programming will help me in understanding through
examples, in fact when I see a example I don't copy it, but I
understand why it work.

Thank again Andrew and good luck. Franco in Italy
