Thread: how can i make a jbutton to close a jframe??

i want to close it with an jbutton

If you want advice, answer the questions you were asked.
If you want help, post what you have tried and explain why it is not satisfactory to you.

i need help with to make the Jbutton = new Jbutton("EXIT"); i want to make the jbutton to close the jframe when its running so i dont have to click at the top for closing it
i have tried to add the system.dispose();
for see if its closing if you click the exit button but i want to make that button close the jframe when its running
is this more easier for you to understand?

The System class does not have a dispose() method. Consult the API for the methods of the class.
If you are using a different class named System, that is a poorly chosen name for a class, and it should be changed.

i found out the solution i added this
setVisible(false);
super.dispose();
in the actionlistener but thanks for helping out

--- Update ---

but the last thing i need to find out is how i can open an new jframe with an jbutton while the first jframe is running

It sounds to me like you have a problem filtering your events.

--- Update ---

You do not need to start a new thread with the same question.
Especially in the case that your question was answered in this thread twice.
Threads merged

yup im a newbeginner so im having problem with filtering events

--- Update ---

i want to make the jbutton button = new jbutton("Start Spaceball"); to open a new jframe but if i add
button.addActionListener(this);
and this.add(button); and when i open the jframe and click start spaceball it closes beacuse i added this under

@Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
this.setTitle("EXITING");
setVisible(false);
super.dispose();

it closes the start spaceball button beacuse i added the actionlistener to the jbutton and i dont want to let that happen if click it. i want it to open a new jframe while the first one is running thats the problem
i hope this explains more of that i need help to

Use an action command to help filter. If you are using 7 or later you can switch on the String

can i make one called addactionlistener(string) ?? can you type the code how to do it im using java 7 in the eclipse

--- Update ---

can you write the code ??? so i can see a little more about it?

how can i make my start spaceball jbutton to open a new jframe
with the actionlistener??

Please do not create another thread with the same question. This is your third try.
You can refer to the answer given in post #19. If you do not understand it, ask a question.

how can i make an jbutton to open a new jframe while the first one is running i want to create a new window so it openes the game when you click at start game button

omg im a newbeginner i want the freaking JButton button = new JButton("Start Spaceball") i want that button to open a new jframe/window when the first one is running since the first jframe is running with the buttons on and i want to make the button i said to open a new jframe
i cant do that in actionlistener since it add's det closing at the exit button and if i click spaceball it closes the program since i added button.addActionlistener and that makes the buttons close since i added frame.dispose() under the actionperformed/ActionListener if you dont understand i dont have any more stuff to explain since that is all i need help with

but anyways man i have figured the both solution to get it work now i an jbutton opening a frame and a jbutton closing the frame

I am happy you figured it out and got it working.
Please post the final solution for future readers and mark the thread as solved if all is well

You could use frame.setVisible(false); There's probably a 'right' way to actually close it though

Window.setVisible(boolean) will make the window hide or show but not close.
