[Edward Fernando]

hello, i need help in java about swing...

i have 2 class which have frame in it, let say classA and classB
is there any way so that when frame in classB closed i do something in classA
for example when classB closed a textArea in classA will write a text.

i've done this in classA

classB b = new classB();
    public classA) {
        initComponents();
        b.addWindowListener(new java.awt.event.WindowAdapter() {
            @Override
            public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e){
                statusScrPnl.setText("closed");
            }
        });
    }

but there is nothing happen....please help me...

Welcome to the Ranch

Why have you got two frames? Why not use a dialog for the second window?
You can add a WindowListener which fires when a frame closes.
[edit]I see you already have such a listener[/edit]

Impossible to help without seeing all the relevant code. To get better help sooner, post a SSCCE (Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable) example that demonstrates the problem.

And I second Campbell's advice: most applications are best designed with only one JFrame, and other UIs as JDialogs, commonly modal.

edit Your initComponents() call implies that you are using a visual designer -- definitely not a beginners' tool. Is that guess correct?
