It depends on how you're doing this. If the first frame opens the 2nd
frame, then you can have a handle to the 2nd in the 1st. Something
like this:

self.newFrame = NewFrame()

Then you can get at the attributes of the 2nd frame:

self.newFrame.SomeWidget.GetSomeValue()

If you're opening both at the same time, you'll have to come up with
something else, like Queues or pubsub.
