Closing a JFrame

[Ben Wong]

I have one main JFrame for my program which creates another JFrame, like a JOptionPane. However, I chose not to use a JOptionPane because the new Jframe contains a form in which the user enters some data.

My question is: how do I close this second JFrame when the user clicks the "OK" button? Is it possible without using a JOptionPane?

On your second JFrame OK button's event handler, just call dispose().

The problem is that my first class instantiates the JFrame for the second class. The second class extends JPanel and therefore cannot see the dispose() method.

The solution I have so far is to have the second class nested in the first.
