Swing: Click on a button in a frame, show another frame with different components

I am developing an application which needs to pop up new JFrame B with different components, when I click on a button on JFrame A. How do I achieve that?

I don't want to use the tabs.

Use a JDialog , problem solved!

One way to approach this would be to create another jFrame and then add a listener onto your button like so:

jFrameNew.setVisible(true);

This way you have a whole new frame to work with. If you want to just have a pop-up message you can also try using the jDialog frames.

Depending on which IDE you are using...for example Netbeans has a gui that makes designing interfaces slightly easier, so you can test out the different frames.

In a nutshell (a simple solution), you register a listener with the JButton and then have the listener perform the tasks you want it to perform: 

setVisible(true) for one frame.
setVisible(false) for the other one.

I'm not sure why no one has suggested CardLayout yet, but this is likely your best solution. The Swing tutorials have a good section on this: How to use CardLayout
