Thread: close JDialog on button click

Hi,

I am brand new to Java programming, I am trying to implement an actionlistener to a button on a JDialog that closes that same JDialog on a click event.
Below you can find my code so far. My question is: how to close the JDialog frame with a buttonclick, the button is defined in the JPanel.

public class JAddCustomer extends JDialog {
 
	/**
	 * 
	 */
	private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
 
	public JAddCustomer() {
		JPanel cp = new customerPanel();
 
		this.setSize(300, 300);
		this.setTitle("Add Customer");
		this.setContentPane(cp);
	}
 
}
 
class customerPanel extends JPanel {
 
	/**
	 * 
	 */
	private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
	private JLabel lblName, lblSurname, lblStreet, lblNr, lblPc, lblCity;
	private JTextField txtName, txtSurname, txtStreet, txtNr, txtPc, txtCity;
	private JButton btnAdd;
 
	public customerPanel() {
		setLayout(null);
		Add a = new Add();
		lblName = new JLabel("Voornaam: ");
		lblName.setBounds(20, 20, 100, 20);
		lblName.setHorizontalAlignment(JLabel.RIGHT);
                                          [...]
 
		btnAdd.addActionListener(a);
 
		add(lblName);
                                          [...]
	}
 
	class Add implements ActionListener {
 
		public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
			JCustomer customer = new JCustomer(txtName.getText(), txtSurname.getText(), new JAddress(txtStreet.getText(), txtNr.getText(), txtCity.getText(), txtPc.getText()));
			System.out.print(customer.toString());

		}
 
	}
 
}

Thank you in advance,
Christophe

the dialog reference declaration needs to be stored in the class, not the constructor. Simply move it somewhere else not in a method. Also, you shouldn't be declaring a new JDialog, but need to get the reference from the parent dialog. This must be passed to the constructor somehow:

// inside of CustomerPanel
private JDialog dialog;
 
public customerPanel(JDialog dialog)
{
     this.dialog = dialog;
     // rest of constructor stuff
}

// inside of JAddCustomer
	public JAddCustomer() {
		JPanel cp = new customerPanel(this);
 
		this.setSize(300, 300);
		this.setTitle("Add Customer");
		this.setContentPane(cp);
	}

edit: Dang, beaten to it
