problem accessing the parent class

[bedeabza]

Hei, I have the following problem within my java application:

I have a Main class that executes when I open the containing .jar file.
In Main I create a new JFrame, then I show it, in the following way: I have a class that extends JFrame, named "Interfata".

Interfata f = new Interfata();
f.setVisible(true);

Then, in Main class I wrote this function

public static void setLook(int tip)

to change the appearance of the application, but I don't know how to access it from f (Interfata object).
Practically, I need to access from a class, one function that resides in the class that instanciated that class.

If anyone has a modality to solve this, I would apreciate it very much.
Thanks!

1-its static , you can call YourMainClass.setLook(...) .
2-for non static ones , you may put a instance variable into other class (Interfata ) and set it from main class. ( f.setMainClass( this ) )
3-if you define Interfata as an "inner class" ,
you can use every method or variable of the outer class (even private ones.)

Thanks very much mr1yh1, it worked...

Ow... it looks like I have one more problem:
My function changes the lookAndFeel property.. and it changes.. partially. But the main window looks like a hibryd of the windows and metal themes. Is there a refresh.. or something like that function available ?

Thanks.
