    Question sending a parameter to a new JDialog

    Hello everyone, from my main window, I am opening a new JDialog window and I want to send a parameter from the main

    Opening the new window

    ExtensionUI extensionUI = new ExtensionUI(this, true);
    extensionUI.setVisible(true);

    and from the main of this new class,

    ExtensionUI dialog = new ExtensionUI(new javax.swing.JFrame(), true);

    and then the constructor

    public ExtensionUI(java.awt.Frame parent, boolean modal) {
    super(parent, modal);
    initComponents();
    parent.printSomething();
    }

    in the main window I have a method println something, but I cant access thru parent.print();
    isn't that parent the main itself or is it like an instance of the JFrame of the main instead? don't know if I explained myself

    thanks!

    I'm pretty unclear about what you're trying to do. Maybe it would be better if you provided an SSCCE that demonstrates what you're talking about?

    I couldn't do it thru the constructor, so after I created the new JDialog instance and opened it, I sent the parameter thru a setMethod.
    It also works, so thanks anyway

    ok I found out my mistake, I was leaving uncommented the main part that calls the constructor inside the new JDialog class, but as I was opening the JDialog from another window, I didn't need the main, so I commented and just passed the value to the constructor and everything fine, Thanks everyone!
