MDI and Internal Frames
In my MDI Application, I have 2 different subclasses of InternalFrame
public class InternalFrame1 extends JInternalFrame
and
public class InternalFrame2 extends JInternalFrame
in my MDI class, i have a JDesktopPane called desktop and the following code:
InternalFrame1 frame=new InternalFrame1();
frame.setVisible(true);
desktop.add(frame);
try {
frame.setSelected(true);
} catch(java.beans.PropertyVetoException e){}
now, in InternalFrame1, when the user hits a button, i want to launch InternalFrame2. my problem is that i dont have a reference to the desktop object to add the InternalFrame2 object to the MDI frame.
is there a way to get the reference?

ok, i found one way to do this -
static JDesktopPane desktop;
and then in the InternalFrame1 actionEvent,
InternalFrame2 frame2=new InternalFrame2();
frame2.setVisible(true);
MDIApp.desktop.add(frame);
try {
frame2.setSelected(true);
}
is this ok, or is there a better way to do this?

Why can't you just use the desktop to add the 2nd internalFrame? When you press the button you make one visible and the other invisible.
You could pass a desktop reference to the 2nd internalFrame. Doing it the other way would be much more simple though.
[code]
public class JInternalFrame2 extends JInternalFrame
{
JDesktopPane desktop;
public JInternalFrame2(JDesktopPane p)
{
this.desktop = p;
desktop.add(this);
}
}
