    {
      Cars frm1=new Cars();
      Distributor frm2=new Distributor();
      frm2.setVisible(true);
      frm1.setVisible(false);
      frm1.setDefaultCloseOperation(frm1.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);

Solution

".Please help me to how I can make distributor frame popup and cars frame is not visible and close automatic."

Ok so in Netbeans GUI Builder, you may want to do the following (this is assuming you have created two separate JFrame form files

• In the frame that is the launching program (we'll call it MyFrame1) add a button to it (we'll call it jButton1)

• Add a listener to the button, then the following code should be auto-generated

  public void jButton1ActionPerforemd(javax.swing.ActionEvent evt) {
  
  }
  

• In that actionPerformed, just instantiate the second frame (we'll call it MyFrame2) and setVisible(false) to MyFrame1. MyFrame2 should already be visible upon instantiation, so you wouldn't have to setVisisble(true) on it

  public void jButton1ActionPerforemd(javax.swing.ActionEvent evt) {
      MyFrame2 frame2 = new MyFrame2();
      MyFrame1.this.setVisible(false);
      // You can also use  MyFrame1.this.dispose(); dependind if you ever need to use that frame again
  }
  

I think this should work
