You could use the hide() method. If you no longer need to use it again, use dispose(). Both are in the Window class.

To make your frame non-resizable, use:

< frameName >.setResizable( false );

Are you trying to close your window with the X button up in the corner, or with a java button on the GUI? If you want to close with the X button you have to add a WindowListener to the window that overrides the windowClosing() method. If you are using another button you have to add an ActionListener to that button.

hi Nathan,
i tried to close my GUI with the help of a button and i add a windowlistener to that button.
i wrote
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
if e.getSource()==button // button i want to use to close
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE)
}
but itdidn't work...

And what happened when you used hide() or dispose()?

[Nathan Pruett]

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
if e.getSource()==button // button i want to use to close
System.exit( 0 );  // if you want to completly exit your application
}

or:

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
if e.getSource()==button // button i want to use to close
frameName.setVisible( false ); // if your application has 
// multiple frames and you just want to close one...
// You can also use frameName.hide(), or frameName.dispose()
// instead of frameName.setVisible( false) like Paul has been
// saying... 
}
