I have a class which extends JFrame. The steps which I am going to do after I run my code are:

Minimize the program
Click on the icon of the program from docker to reload it

Now, I would like it to display another frame to be shown while keeping the previous frame setVisible to false. The new frame is basically a login page where after I type in a password will it show the window which was previously minimized.

have you tried anything yet? – XtremeBaumer Nov 24 '16 at 08:39
As of now, I've designed and coded the frames. – Mohammad Yaqoob Nov 24 '16 at 08:53
so you haven't tried anything yet – XtremeBaumer Nov 24 '16 at 08:56
It might be a nicer approach to just switch panels within the one JFrame, see the [CardLayout docs](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/layout/card.html). – Chains Nov 24 '16 at 09:01

1) See [The Use of Multiple JFrames, Good/Bad Practice?](http://stackoverflow.com/q/9554636/418556) 2) The usual way to approach a log-in is to show a modal `JDialog` or a `JOptionPane` in front of the frame. – Andrew Thompson Nov 24 '16 at 10:14
