    1) Create a JButton 2)add an ActionListener to the JButton which contains the code to close the JFrame 3) add the JButton to the JFrame

    copeg give you a perfect set of steps to follow in post #4.
    Post any questions you have about which step you are stuck on.
    Include the full text of any error messages with your code so we can see what is going on

    Step 1 complete. Step 2 has been started but not finished. You have added "this" as an action listener to the button correctly, but I do not see the code that closes the JFrame you wish to close.

    Are you attempting to destroy the jframe and close the program, just destroy the jframe, or just temporarily hide the jframe?

    I do not understand exactly what this means, perhaps you can post more of the code, or all of it if it is fairly short?
    The action listener is only a few lines of code, then on to step 3. (I think you have already done this step, so you are that much closer to finishing)

    Use code tags when posting code. Instructions can be found on the announcements page. For future readers please edit your post and wrap the code in tags.

    @Override
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
     
     
    }
    Well this is looking good so far. actionPerformed will be called when the button is clicked because "this" now correctly implements ActionListener. Inside the body of this method is where you place the code to close the jframe.
    You never did specify what you want to do when the button is clicked. Close the window and exit the program. Close the window and leave the program going. Hide the window and show it again later and leave the program going... What exactly do you want to happen when the button is clicked?

    ....and leave the program running?
    ....and close the program?
    ....reopen the jframe later or not?

    What have you tried since post #11?

    You still haven't answered the questions from post 13...'close the jframe' can mean many things, and we are not mind readers. If you want help with the least amount of hand-waving or going in circles, please be explicit about what you wish to accomplish.

    I gathered that from all your previous posts. Care to add anything else? Perhaps the answers to the questions in post 13? Perhaps a list of what you've tried to accomplish your task, and why they were not sufficient?

    Work on one problem at a time. Or did you finish working on closing the jframe how you wanted to?
    ...How did you open the first JFrame? ... Do it again.

    Or there is the option to hide (rather than close) the first JFrame and show it again later.

    What have you tried since post #11. Up to that point you were doing a good job solving your problem. Post your actionPerformed method.

    Quote Originally Posted by FastFuture View Post

    When you click "it".... it what? If you just closed your jframe, what are you clicking to start spaceball?

    Try to give as many specifics as possible. No one is as familiar with your project as you, and what may be perfectly clear to you may be mud to others.

    Please do not use profanity. Consider this a warning - your post has been edited.

    you don't understand it
    Given you have not even tried to answer the questions posed above, I wouldn't expect anything different.

    The simple solution would be to provide a straight forward answer to a question when one is asked. For example:
    You have been asked several times, when the button is clicked and the jframe is to close, do you want to stop the program or leave it running. You should type one of the following in reply.
    I want to close the program.
    I want to leave the program running.
    I want to leave the program running and open the jframe again later.
    I want to leave the program running and open a new jframe.

    With a simple answer to the question you were asked, we can provide a simple answer to the question you are asking, "How do you close your jframe when the button is clicked".
    Since you did not provide enough information with your question, you were asked a question instead of getting an answer. The answer you get varies depending on which reply you choose to give.
    So you must choose first.

    You also failed to reply to this question:
    When you click "it".... it what? If you just closed your jframe, what are you clicking to start spaceball?

    You could also try to explain what you are trying to accomplish by closing and opening jframes. This is not an operation intended to be done frequently and on the fly. It is more of a once up front activity, and reuse the frame throughout the lifecycle of the display. Even if you load a new application from the current application, you can just swap the content pane in and out at will or show and hide all or parts at will. With all of these options built in; what are you trying to accomplish, maybe there is a more suitable approach.

    It would be difficult to include a skype converstaion on this forum for future readers. Post all questions and comments related to this problem on the forum in this thread.
