Somewhere you are creating form a and form b. I assume something like a
formA = new a(); and b formB = new b();. So you need to
get formA into formB so it can reference the real object, not just it's
class. If b is being created by a then you could modify b to have a
constructor method of b(a formA). Then in a you could have b formB = new
b(this). Then in b you can save off the formA and when needed do a
formA.setVisible(false);
Without seeing more of your code, this is only a guess.
