Java: Dispose ActionEvent from different JFrame

Question

I want one JFrame to have a method like this:

private void someEvent(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt){

    //initialize another JFrame
    //set the new JFrame to be visible
    //set this JFrame to be disabled

}

Which is possible, but I also want the main JFrame to perform something when the newly created JFrame is disposed. I don't want to pass in the main JFrame to the new JFrame however. Is this possible?

Answer 1

Instead, use CardLayout to switch between the two desired content panes. There's an example here.
