You will have to past a refrence of your JFrame to the JPanel so that it can call setVisible(false);.

Although this sounds like a poor design because having each class reference each other is tight coupling and is discouraged. I would suggest having a third "Controller" type class that receives requests from both items and makes changes to the GUI.
