Can't get Parent class

Question

I have created three classes.
JMainFrame : JFrame
JMainFramesDlg: JDialog
JMainFramesDlg1:JDialogJMainFrame opens JMainFramesDlg, after that I press a "Edit" button on the JMainFramesDlg and it opens JMainFramesDlg1
if (jdlgEdit == null) {
jdlgEdit = new JMainFramesDlg1(); }
jdlgEdit.setVisible(true);Now, I am in this child Dialog (Edit) and made some edition, changes and press OK, how can I from JMainFramesDlg1 get the instance of JMainFramesDlg and JMainFrame, I want to make some changes in this windows, if some changes in Edit Dialog took place.

Answer 1

Do you have a small sample for that? How can I get the feedback from the Dialog window?
Well, you're extending Dialog, so you can do it any way you like.
I'd quite often use one of three techniques:
1. for simple data, use a getter (eg "public String getPassword()") which shows the dialog modally, and then returns the value stored in a text field in it
2. for more complex data, use a method like "public void requestInput()" which shows the dialog modally then populates fields with the input data, which can be retrieved via methods like "public String getItemName()" or "public int getQuantity()"
3. pass in an object to the dialog, and have the dialog display and operate on it directly - eg pass it a "User" object and have the dialog present text fields which allow direct editing of "name" or "password" or whatever - then all you need is "new UserEditorDialog(myUser).show()" and you're done
