    public void setErrorNotificationLabel(String labelMessage) {
 
 
        if (labelMessage.length() > 50) {
 
            popUpWindowWidth = popUpWindowWidth + 300;
            buttonXPosition = buttonXPosition + 150;
        }

        this.setIconImage(icon);
        this.setSize(popUpWindowWidth, 100);
        this.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        this.setResizable(false);
        this.setVisible(true);
    }
 
}

and i have a simple main class that extends the JFrame class

public class NewMain {
 
    public static void main(String[] args) {
 
        JFrame f = new JFrame();
 
        PopUpFrame p = new PopUpFrame();
 
        f.setSize(400, 500);
        f.setVisible(true);
        f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
 
        p.createPopUpFrame();
 
    }
}

my problem here is.. when i run the main class, the popUpFrame object will pop up..

but the problem is it DOESNT ACT like THE JOptionPane...

when i press the exit button.. all the frames are exiting.... how can i resolve this one...


i need this customize frame for my program...

I believe calling System.exit terminates everything.

tnx dude but i got the error... just a little stupidity i didnt notice this part

this.setDefaultCloseOperation(PopUpFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

damn.... im getting frustrated .. because i need to finish this ASAP.. thats why im not able to notice some of
my codings... darn... i dont even know how to use debugger until now.....

frame.dispose();

Where 'frame' is a reference to your JFrame. You can also set the default close operation to DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE, or if you wish to re-use the window just set its visibility to false (setVisible(false)).

last problem.. i tried to deal with this one.. but i cant figure out the flow ..

the PopUp Class

public class PopUpFrame {
 
    private JFrame f;
    private JPanel popUpPanel;
 
    private JLabel errorMessage;
 
    private Image icon;
 
    private ImageIcon background;

        background = new ImageIcon("c:/pics/mainbck2.jpg");
        okButton = new JButton("Ok");

                pU.createPopUpFrame();
            }
        });
    }
}

main

public class NewMain {
 
    public static void main(String[] args) {
 
        PopUpFrame pU = new PopUpFrame();
 
        pU.setErrorNotificationFrameTitle("Error Title");
        pU.setErrorNotificationLabel("Label");
 
        PopUpFrame.popTheMessage();
    }
}

i want this class to be as flexible as possible.. but i cant figure out why is that i cant generate the title and the label?

i tried to put a string label and a string title in the PopUp class.. and it runs perfectly.. but when i use the methods .setErrorNotificationFrameTitle(String frameTitle); and setErrorNotificationLabel(String labelMessage); it doesnt generate the desired output...

im still getting the same error...
