Help with JInternal Frames

[RPBLEA]

Okay I'm Using JDesktop Pane To create and bring up 3 different frames. Now I want to be able to Enter Data into one frame and then It show Up in another frame.

I've tried Embedding Actionlisteners but this has not worked
I've tried setting the objects to public this hasn't worked

Basically I have the first frame a input frame
The second frame a Table

I want to input the data from the input frame into the second frame which is a table

If you have any idea how to do this, can you should me some code, or please try and explain it to me? Thanks for the help

The easiest way would be to supply all your internal frames with a constructor that
took the main frame as a poniter. So, when you fill in data in one frame and want
to 'send' this to another internal frame, the internal frame would call the mainframe
requesting the pointer to the other one and use that for invoking the receival
method of the other frame.
Or, as I've shown earlier in this forum, you could have an arraylist in the mainframe
that your store the pointers to all the internal frames in. If you include this arraylist
as one of the internal frames constructor's parameters, then the internalframes can
scan this arraylist to find the other internal frames that they need to 'communicate' with.

when I take the Main Frame as a pointer as You say, Would I be referencing Jframe or MyDesktopPane


public JInternalFrame createFrame1(myDesktop m, String t) {

So would a JInternframe be like this? up Above?

and Then How would I be able to point the pointer to the text boxes and then have them equal what's in the textboxes?

Thanks?

The mainFrame, cause when it is defined for all the internalframes they can access
the mainFrames public methods through the pointer, like:

TabInternalFrame tbFrame=theMainFrame.getTableInternalFrame();

...where TabInternalFrame is another internal frame that exists in the application,
on the desktop. This implies that the mainFrame must store the pointers
to the internal frames that are created.

In my example above the mainframe hands the pointer to another frame on
the desktop to this internalframe, and so it can access the other internal
frames' textboxes of whatevver, as long as the properties/components are
made public, either through direct access of via setters and getters.

But how would I set this the way you have when I already have a method

"public calendarmain () {
myFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
myFrame.setSize(675,600);

JDesktopPane myDesktop = new JDesktopPane();
myFrame.setContentPane(myDesktop);

JInternalFrame calendar1 = createFrame1("Calendar Main");"

// and then all the Internal Frames are within the method calendarmain


//Would I go outside Calendarmain Scrapping the current one
// using your method?

JInternalFrame calendar1 = calendarmain.getJinternalFrame();;

// I've tried this in the method calendarmain and it doesn't work?
// Maybe I dont' understand what your telling me, obviously?
