2 seperate class files, need some help

Question

Hi,
Um, incase you didn't notice, I'm new to java. The closest to Java that I've ever been was C#. But anyways:
I have 2 class files. One of them is a main form, and the other one is a simple dialog form. Is there a way that I can make the main form show the dialog form say, by clicking a button? I know how to create a button and do something when the button is clicked, I just don't know how to make one form show another one without having the code for both forms in one file. By the way, I'm making it in Swing if that makes a difference. Also, code examples would help, thanks.

Hi,
Um, incase you didn't notice, I'm new to java.The way about every second posts starts in here. Thanks for pointing it out, I wouldn't have guessed. :p

anyways:
I have 2 class files. One of them is a main form, and
the other one is a simple dialog form.
Is there a way
that I can make the main form show the dialog form
say, by clicking a button?Yes, of course.
I know how to create a
button and do something when the button is clicked, I
just don't know how to make one form show another one
without having the code for both forms in one file.Uhm. Just something similar to
MyDialog d = new myDialog(theFrameToBeModalTo);
d.show();?
What does it have to do with files? Java doesn't care about files.
By the way, I'm making it in Swing if that makes a
difference. Also, code examples would help, thanks.All code examples you need are here:
