[RESOLVED] class to class

Hello all,

Back with another java problem but this time its not as complex as my previous ones (hopefully). I'm just wondering if i can run one Jframe to another just like in vb such as going from one form to another by hiding / destroying the previous one and showing the next one.

The only solution i could think of at the moment is to have one class containing the main method which will control everythin such as the following algorithm:

Main Class

-Run frame one
-dispose frame one
-run frame two
- dispose frame two

End of main

will this idea work?

Thanks in advance

yes it should work if implemented correctly. But why do you need to show the first jframe, close it then show the other?

Thanks, ill give it a whiz after completing the 30 page documentation. Well im creating a letter recognition software which will consist of different stages and each stage will have its own GUI. Having different classes with different GUIs was the solution i came up with hence me wondering if this could actually work. :)

Is there another way i could do this? thanks in advance..

I mean I've never seen an application do that. Only with a splash screen. Is that what you're doing?

kinda. what i wanted it to look like is similar to the way the first few screens on a game are shown: advertisements, sponsors, etc..but instead it will have the following sequence:

1st Frame: Get image from user - via webcam or browse from file
2nd Frame: Display image with analysed letters beside it along with buttons for accessibility (i.e reading the text for them)
3rd Frame: more functions, etc..

Any ideas on how to do this apart from that method?

so I can call them JDialogs instead of frames, right?

showing them from the main menu is acceptable but a very great idea

you can if you wana but frames would still be more suitable imo newayz as i can add containers and components that can display the current output of the cam. nt sure whether u can do this with normal JDialogs though...

thanks

you can. But that's not the problem now.

So did the way you suggested work? If not please show us some code

Havent done this yet, will try this out tomorrow as im finishing some of the documentation i have to do as well. but will defo inform ya on how it went, thanks
