I have a JFrame class and it was made in the design section on Netbeans. I am trying to make a log in button that takes closes the current frame and opens another, is there anyway I can do that?

I have tried: 

JFrame frame = new JFrame();

But I want it to be editable in the design section!

Double Click the Login Button in the NETBEANS or add the Event Listener on Click Event (ActionListener)

btnLogin.addActionListener(new ActionListener() 
{
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        this.setVisible(false);
        new FrmMain().setVisible(true); // Main Form to show after the Login Form..
    }
});

    It's better to use `this.dispose()` instead making it invisible as it will be still running without any use. – Azad Jul 14 '13 at 07:46
  • Yea Thats correct. But i thought that while the Form is dispose it may return to Main Function without showing the FrmMain.. OOPS... I thought the Code will be Stopped then... – Gokul E Jul 14 '13 at 07:51

    Great thought :) The code won't be stoped until executing all statements inside the actionPerformed method. – Azad Jul 14 '13 at 07:56

new SecondForm().setVisible(true);

You can either use setVisible(false) or dispose() method to disappear current form.

This link works with me: video

The answer posted before didn't work for me until the second click

So what I did is Directly call:

        new NewForm().setVisible(true);

        this.dispose();//to close the current jframe
