Can anyone help with setVisible and hide() methods (java)?

Question

In one part my code, I want a frame to disappear but remain in the memory of the computer. I tried using <framename>.setVisible(false); and <framename>.hide() but both failed to make the frame disappear. How am I gonna solve this?

Not certain, as unsure just what IDE toolbox you might be using, but judging from the decribed behavior, perhaps you need to do a repaint() or similar function after you change the property of the frame and/or specify a different frame to obtain the focus?
