Ok so I am trying to build a little program and I want to be able to click on the skate or dice button and have the program open a new JFrame that has been built in another class. Currently it opens its own JFrame that was built in this method. I have the other classes built i have put the skate class below the main menu method. If someone could help me get this work I would greatly appreciate it.
Another thing I tried is the getContentPane and that creates and exception in the thread
Main method
public class MainMenu extends JFrame {
public MainMenu(){
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
ImageIcon i1 = new ImageIcon("H:/dice/skategamepic.jpg");
JButton skate = new JButton(i1);
skate.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(230,65));
skate.setBorderPainted(false);
panel.add(skate);
skate.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
JFrame skate1 = new JFrame();
skate1.setForeground(Color.lightGray);
skate1.setSize(320, 480);
skate1.setTitle("Welcome to Skate");
skate1.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
skate1.setVisible(true);
skate1.getContentPane().add(new skate());
}
});
JButton dice = new JButton("Dice");
dice.setLocation(90,250);
dice.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(120,50));
panel.add(dice);
dice.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
JFrame dice = new JFrame();
dice.setForeground(Color.lightGray);
dice.setSize(320, 480);
dice.setTitle("Welcome to dice");
dice.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
dice.setVisible(true);
}
});
add(panel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
MainMenu m = new MainMenu();
m.setForeground(Color.lightGray);
m.setSize(320, 480);
m.setTitle("Welcome to Skate");
m.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
m.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
m.setVisible(true);
}
}
skate class
public class skate extends JFrame {
public skate(){
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
skate s = new skate();
s.setForeground(Color.lightGray);
s.setSize(320, 480);
s.setTitle("Welcome to Skate");
s.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
s.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
s.setVisible(true);
}
}
