I have the code to do this, but I can't do it. I made something similar and worked without problem ( and asked here too) . Basically I am trying to pass the username that I enter into my textbox to a label from my otherJFrame ( I know it's not good practice to have 2 JFrames ).
The code where I try to parse my data is supposed to happen here :
if( rs.next() )
{
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Successfully Logged In", "Success", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
this.setVisible(false);
new FrmMain2(username).setVisible(true);
}
This is the whole code from the 1'st frame

The code from the second form is

public class FrmMain2 {
private String userName;
public FrmMain2(String username) {
this.userName=username;
gui();

{
JFrame f = new JFrame("Ma JFrame");
JPanel p = new JPanel();
p.setBackground(Color.YELLOW);
f.setSize(600,400);
f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
JButton b1 = new JButton("Back");
JLabel l1 = new JLabel("Username");
l1.setText(userName);
p.add(b1);
p.add(l1);
f.add(p);
f.setVisible(true);
}

So I want to transfer the username String to my label from MainFrame2. I had a similar problem that I posted it here ( and solved) but I can't do it.....
