I am writing a program that asks the user for a user name and password. When the correct user name and password is entered a new windows appears. Currently all i do is set the first JFrame visible to false and the new one to true in a separate class[note both classes inherits JFrame]. However, i want to know if instead of making the second class inherit JFrame, if i could just let it inherit the first and what would i need to do to make it look like a new window.
Do you want to have two windows?Quote:

If you create a class that extends JFrame and that class adds some components and calls setVisible you will have a window displayed.
If the second class extends the first one and the first one extends JFrame, then you can create a window with it as above.
I don't understand what ur saying, but i want to know if instead of creating two windows if i can just use one and get the same effect by using inheritanceQuote:

I want continuous effect in my application rather that window poping up effect when i create a new JFrame
Do you mean you want to remove the currently displayed components in the window and replace them with a new set?
yes, but when the user logs out the original components and then redisplayed
As the state of your program changes, you should be able to change the components by removing them and adding others.
You should use CardLayout to store individual screens as game cards, then show one card at a time.
