Can I use buttons to make frames go between visible and invisible?

So I'm currently doing a project and I want to know whether or not what I'm doing is possible or not. My idea was to create 3 frames, one for each database table. I would then have a button with "Customer" and when clicked it would turn all the other frames and its components invisible while keeping it's own frame visible. Is this possible to do or is there an easier way? Is it possible to create 3 different classes for each frame and link them? I left my code below so you can get a better of what I'm trying.

public class Main extends JFrame {        public Main(){          // Attach window listener          addWindowListener(new WindowCloser()); // Just in-case it's needed            // Adding first customer panel          JPanel pCustomerL = new JPanel();          pCustomerL.setBounds(0,0,750,750);          pCustomerL.setBackground(Color.BLUE);          // Adding second customer panel          JPanel pCustomerR = new JPanel();          pCustomerR.setBounds(750,0,750,750);          pCustomerR.setBackground(Color.BLACK);          // Adding first product panel          JPanel pProductL = new JPanel();          pProductL.setBounds(0,0,750,750);          pProductL.setBackground(Color.YELLOW);          // Adding second product panel          JPanel pProductR = new JPanel();          pProductR.setBounds(750,0,750,750);          pProductR.setBackground(Color.GREEN);          // Adding first invoice panel          JPanel pInvoiceL = new JPanel();          pInvoiceL.setBounds(0,0,750,750);          pInvoiceL.setBackground(Color.BLUE);          // Adding second invoice panel          JPanel pInvoiceR = new JPanel();          pInvoiceR.setBounds(750,0,750,750);          pInvoiceR.setBackground(Color.BLACK);            // Button Listener          ButtonListener listener = new ButtonListener();          // Adding "Customer" Button          JButton b = new JButton("Invoice");          b.addActionListener(listener);          add(b);          b.setBounds(1300,10,150,35);          // Adding "Product" Button          b = new JButton("Product");          b.addActionListener(listener);          add(b);          b.setBounds(1150,10,150,35);          // Adding "Invoice" Button          b = new JButton("Customer");          b.addActionListener(listener);          add(b);          b.setBounds(1000,10,150,35);            // Frame Settings          this.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);          this.setLayout(null);          this.setSize(1500,750);            // Customer Panel          this.add(pCustomerL);          this.add(pCustomerR);          // Product Panel         // this.add(pProductL);         // this.add(pProductR);          // Invoice Panel          this.add(pInvoiceL);          this.add(pInvoiceR);            // Customer Panel Settings          pCustomerL.setVisible(false);          pCustomerR.setVisible(false);          // Product Settings          pProductL.setVisible(true);          pProductR.setVisible(true);          // Invoice settings          pInvoiceL.setVisible(false);          pInvoiceR.setVisible(false);          this.setVisible(true);      }        // Listener for buttons      class ButtonListener implements ActionListener {          public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {              String buttonLabel = evt.getActionCommand();          }      }        // Listener for window      class WindowCloser extends WindowAdapter {          public void windowClosing(WindowEvent evt) { System.exit(0);}      }  public static void main(String[] args) {      new Main();  }
