java-programmer, creating an internalFrame I'm trying to create an instance of the JInternalFrame class, which
works fine.
I defined a JDesktopPane named desktop and I am able to add an internal
Frame to this JDesktopPane.
Inside this JInternalFrame (lets call ist Frame1) I got a button which
"should" open another JInternalFrame called Frame2 inside the same
desktop. But it doesn't work. The compiler says it doesn't recognize the
variable "desktop".
How do I get him to refer to the current instance of the JDesktopPane
I'm using? I have just one JDesktopPane as my workspace.
thx in advance,
Daniel

I tried to get the JDesktopPane by the following code:

myFrame Frame2 = new myFrame();
JDesktopPane myDesktop = getDesktopPane();
myDesktop.add(Frame2);

Now the compiler doesn't throw an error message, but it doesn't work
either. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Figured it out.
Whomever it may concern:
I forgot to make the new Frame visible.
