I have two frames and when I click login button in 1st frame second frame opens. After closing 2nd frame if I click first frame button again it overwrites the old 2nd frame. I cannot use exit_on_close as I dont want to stop the execution. I also tried with hide_on_close and dispose_on_close. None of it worked. Can any body tell me how to create new frame on clicking the button every time.

Welcome to the Ranch

Why are you opening a second frame? Wouldn’t a dialogue be better?

You can have panes and all components in Dialog too...

you don't tell enough for me to know why you have to do this, but here is an idea. make an ArrayList of JFrames. have an int variable that gets incremented each time you open a new frame. store the frames in the ArrayList. i'm more used to using arrays. if it was an array it would look something like this:
myFrames[count] = new JFrame();
i guess with ArrayList you don't need a int variable. maybe just:
myFrames.add(new JFrame);
or something. i have a lot of studying to do to relearn all this.
anyway, just a thought.

It's a rare application that needs more than one JFrame. Other windows should be JDialogs, as already suggested.

i wrote one once. the second frame was larger than the first one and hid the first one until it was closed but i agree it is unusual.

Thanks for all of your suggesions. I am new to Swing. Any way I found the solution. As I said I have a panes in it. I used pane.removeAll at the start of the function. So when ever this Function is called. 2nd frame get started from first. When I started to code it I was not knowing that JDialog works without any Container. Any way thanks to all of you for sharing your knowledge.

Or minimized, or moved, or Alt-Tabbed out of the way?

they were both centered on the screen so the second larger one just covered up the first one
 
this is supposed to be a surprise, but it smells like a tiny ad:
