simple question about JFrame

i have oneJFrame that, when a button is pushed,

starts a childJFrame

the childJFrame needs to change thefont, or

whatever, of a widget in the parentJFrame.

what is the best approach?

i can only think of anInterface for eachJFrame and

then have lots of

"get..()" and "set..()" for attributes in the widgets.

this seems troublesome and ugly?

i've no idea.

You'll need an interface if you'd like to define a set of standard methods to do things.Else, all you need is to pass the parent JFrame instance as an argument to the children so that they know on what object to operate.

by using the concrete parent class rather than an interface

in the constructor signature,

you are tightly binding the parent and child.

which i guess is a logical design, in a gui.

makes sense to me

just hope i won't regret this design in a few days.. :-)
