Java problem

[stefnijenhuis]

Hello people,

I need to make a Jbutton open up a new Jframe, let's say i got a button called settings and that one needs to open a new window also called settings and close the main window, or change the main window into the settings window.

Now my question is, is this posible in the GUI builder or do i have to do this in code? if in code can someone give me an example

Thanks
