can anyone tell me how to get the look and feel in my second form................

[Jessurider]

i've created a project .....in which on executing the h.java the second window3.java appears slowly as you can see that by running the below source code.............but the problem is that the second form i.e window3.java on displaying does'nt shows the noire look and feel environment as well as no noire border,minimize button, maximize button,closing button.............

can anyone tell me how to bring that all..............

[masijade]

post the code for the initial frame creation, the setting of the look and feel (should be the same place, hopefully), as well as the code for the creation and display of the "second form".

As far as not showing a border, etc, what does this

this.setUndecorated(true);

do?

Use JDialog (setting the parent in the constructor) rather than JFrame for the "additional" forms. Of course the "look and feel" of one frame is not automatically to a new frame, since it is a completely separate entity, and you haven't set it explicitly. JDialog (with a prent component) should take of that (and make it more correct, besides).

if

<strong>this.setUndecorated(true);</strong>

is removed it causes the following errors

[masijade]

Okay? And the rest of my previous post?

[Jessurider]

sir.........u mean that i should substitute jdialog instead of jframe..............

[masijade]

Yes. That is what I said, isn't it? And check the constructors for JDialog (see the API docs, of course) so that you can properly define your constructors and properly set the "parent".
