This may be a stupid question but.....
I have a main.java file that contains the main class, and then main calls another class which is a GUI. This bit works fine.
Next, the user presses the OK button, the event handler reads in the text fields and assigns to variables, then I want control to pass back to main.java to the main class - how would i do this?
Thanks
Well your main class should use a "modal dialog".
If you need further help then you need to create a [url http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html]Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program[/url] (SSCCE) that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour, because I can't guess exactly what you are doing based on the information provided.
And don't forget to use the [url http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting]Code Formatting Tags[/url] so the code retains its original formatting.

If I use modal dialog, does that mean that I will have a tabbed frames?
Would this method work:
start a new thread in main(), that was started after control was passed to the GUI so they both run concurrently. Then GUI still runs while new thread runs the main code to produce the results which will then be passed back to the GUI?
Thanks
-I would post code up, but they are quite long files and I don't know how to show you all the information succinctly

Not sure what you mean by tabbed frames?

Yea, just make sure updates to the GUI are done on the Event Dispatching Thread.
