OK, I added that line, and now get the compile error:

Woah, confusing thread.

I suspect you don't really understand the difference between a class and an object. When you define a variable or method as static you are saying it belongs to the class, not an instance of that class. The this keyword reference the object. Because simulate() is defined as static it doesn't belong to an instance of an object.

To remedy this use a constructor and create an instance of sysinfoHooshi in the entry point.

public static void main(String[] args) {
    SysInfoHooshi sysInfoHooshi = new SysInfoHooshi();
    sysInfoHooshi.simulate();
}

But what if I have more buttons?
I have 1 HButton, named 'button' on a 'JDialog' named 'dialog', and anotther JButton named 'queryButton' on a 'JDialog' named 'queryDialog'.
I changed the actiomPerformed() function thus:

	 public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
		 if(e.getSource() == button)
		    dialog.setVisible(false);
		 if(e.getSource() == queryButton)
		    queryDialog.setVisible(false);
	}

It seems that this should be working now, but the second "if" doesn't work What is the problem?

I'm going to close this thread, because it's more of the same already going on in his other threads which have been combined into one. We've moved on but not very far.
