Hi,

I've got the Java Certification training book and am looking over windowing
stuff.

But I can't find anything that tells me how, if Form1 opens Form2 (say a
login window), how Form1 finds out what data was entered to Form2.

I don't know if there's a "built-in" way (form2.getParent().setUsername()
seems unlikely given types), I need to use an event listener or if people
typically pass Form1 to Form2 as a typed argument and then
form2.myParentFormWithIKnowWillHaveASentUsernameMethod.setUsername(username)
.

Thanks for your help.

Scott
