    Smile What is the "JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE" called?

    Hi,

    what is the "JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE" called? It's not a method, I believe, it looks like something else. I would like to apply this to a framework called "SGUI" for my software. It doesn't contain any arguments, it's just a command for the JFrame. How could I make something like this?

    I ended up with making a method called setDialogType(SOptionPane.YES_NO_CANCEL()), but it's not the same thing. Does it have something to do with interface? Don't know what that is either, gonna do my homework now...

    Thanks fellows.

    It's just a static final int field; a constant. It has an integer value. Check out the API: JFrame (Java Platform SE 7 )

    Thank you for the answer, I'm glad you weren't all "UR A NUB LOL" on me. I have a question, though. I wish to code my very own JOptionPane named SOptionPane exclusively for the software. The reason for this is that the dialogs will be more customized. How do I use the static final ints, though? Declaring them is easy as pie, of course. But how would you tackle this situation? If you use the static final int "SAVE_IGNORE_CANCEL", how would you receive the input with "if(response == SOptionPane.SAVE_OPTION)" if the user chose "SAVE", for an example?

    By the way, my dad greets you all!

    EDIT:

    Would you create a JButton with an ActionListener and then assign the static final int to it?

    *WARNING: BADASS ASCII TEXT ART INCOMING*

    [ Save progress?
    [
    [
    [ [Save] [Don't save] [Cancel]
    [__________________________]

    I would assign the static final int SOptionPane.SAVE_OPTION to the Save button and check if it was selected through an if statement as showed above. If it would be true, run the code. What do you think? Judging by the humans key instinct to review a person by the first impression, I think you're more than qualified to answer this question. Thanks man.

    You would have something like:
    public static final int SAVE_IGNORE_CANCEL = 0;
    public static final int SAVE_OPTION = 1;
    public static final int IGNORE_OPTION = 2;
    public static final int CANCEL_OPTION = 3;

    Personally, I think the pattern of using constants where enums could be used is poor behavior, but the current Java Swing framework seems to using constants, so you should probably do it with constants if you are extending the JOptionPane. If you are actually extending the JOptionPane class (meaning you are inheriting from it), make sure you are careful you are not using some integer values which will conflict with already existing framework.

    As far as implementing goes, I'm not entirely sure. As far as I can tell, you need to figure out how to make sure the method which created the SOptionPane does not return a value until one of the buttons is pressed. I think there is a way to make it wait for user input (you don't want to do endless loops or anything, it is extremely bad practice), but I can't think of how right now. It probably wouldn't hurt to try to find the code for JOptionPane and see how it currently works.

    You helped me a lot! I'll check out the JOptionPane code and then I'll hopefully figure out the remaining process all by myself. Again, thank you.
