Hi All,

i am a mature student who is having difficulties with gui's.
Im working on a project that requires a login screen (which i have working) but on success i need to open a new frame that is already created.

    private void jButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
        // TODO add your handling code here:

       String secretWord="Hello";
       String userInput=password.getText();
       if(userInput.equals(secretWord))
       {
           System.out.println("password correct");
          //I want to open frame here
       }
       else
       {
           System.out.println("password incorrect");
       }


    }
The login system is simple i know but not that important can jazz it up later when i learn about databases(god help me give me cobol!!!!)

Thanks a confused learner

Hi,

Change the code to your need:

//I want to open frame here

//1. Create the frame.
JFrame frame = new JFrame("FrameDemo");
//2. Optional: What happens when the frame closes?
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOS E);
//3. Create components and put them in the frame.
//...create emptyLabel...
frame.getContentPane().add(emptyLabel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
//4. Size the frame.
frame.pack();
//5. Show it.
frame.setVisible(true);
