Close in one window closes all frames in java

Question

I would like to make it possible to navigate frames in java. When I close the frame, the rest of the opening frames will be closed and the whole program will stop.

Please, help...

Answer 1

You probably used

//this will terminate or exit your application setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); 

Perhaps you want to use this instead,

  setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.HIDE_ON_CLOSE); 

refer to this link for reference

Answer 2

If you want to close only one frame, you should do something like this: setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE)

If you want to close all frames whenever one frame is closed, you can do the following:

You can use the window listener and call System.exit(0); when the JFrame closes, or try setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); on every JFrame . Thus, your program will close all frames and end.

If you need to complete some tasks before shutting down the application, you should probably use a window listener.

Answer 3

My problem was that I used the listener found in the main tutorials:

 WindowListener l = new WindowAdapter() { public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) { System.exit(0); } }; addWindowListener(l); 

I know this is stupid. I have not seen this, but some people may have done the same, so I will just leave it here;)

Answer 4

If you use the swing palette. In the properties of the frame, select the default close operation as (Dispose). Follow the image given in this solution.
