You don't want tu run the main method of TransferClass but instead to instantiate the TransferFrame and make it visible. Just insert your code from TransferClass#main to MyFramePanel#actionPerformed ... for a start.

Maybe not to the original poster, but it will be to future generations of Swing programmers.

I have gotten it right. i had to put all the TransferFramePanel code into TransferClass Constructor and extends JFrame, then initialize TransferClass from MyClass action.
I want to exit MyClass window after TransferClass window is visible?
I use System.exit(1); but the whole Application was closed, that is MyClass and TransferClass window was closed.
what code can i use to close only MyClass window? am i little bit lost in the bush!!!

As well it should. You're calling dispose as if it were a static method of MyClass and per your code above it isn't. Perhaps you wish to get the reference to the JFrame and call dispose on it.

i have gotten it by using this code

after making the TransferClass visble i use the SwingUtilities to get the ancestor window before calling the dispose() method
thanks to you all
