Help with closing a JFrame (not the program)
so i'm trying to create a JButton that closes the JFrame that it is in. here is the button code
JButton buttonClose = new JButton("Close");
buttonClose.setVisible(true);
panelHelp.add(buttonClose);
buttonClose.dispose();
Im getting this error:
the method dispose(); cannot be defined. I'm assuming I need to put an arg in but don't know what needs to go there. I'm new to Java so please go easy on me.
I tried to add an actionlistener as well and that didn't work either.
Re: Help with closing a JFrame (not the program)
The API does not define a dispose() method for a JButton
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs...ng/JButton.htm
If you wish to dispose of the parent JFrame, call dispose on the JFrame (for which the API defines a dispose method: JFrame (Java Platform SE 6) ).
We cannot comment on code that we cannot see, and cannot comment on why it didn't work without an explanation of 'didn't work' means.I tried to add an actionlistener as well and that didn't work either.
