Closing a panel

[Mythily Jaganathan]

Hi all,

I have to close(exit) a JPanel without using System.exit() method.
Please help me to solve this problem.

Thanks in advance,
Mythily

is it the contentPane for a dialog/frame?
if so, use the dialog/frame's dispose()

Hi,

It is not a contentpane. It is a panel with griddedbag layout.

Thanks

all you can do is remove it from its container.

then, depending on container type, you call
validate();
or
revalidate();

and, sometimes a call to repaint() is also required
