I have a login and a register panel and a window to hold all the panels. What I am trying to do is to go to the login panel when the register button is pressed. But it does not work. The method that I use would work if the login panel is inside the window but when it is in its own class it doesn't. Can someone please let me know how to do this? Here is my code for the Window
