By default, when the close button on a frame is clicked, nothing happens. This example shows how to make the action hide the frame. One reason for hiding rather than disposing a frame would be to reuse the frame later.
// Create a frame
Frame frame = new Frame();
// Add a listener for the close event
frame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent evt) {
Frame frame = (Frame)evt.getSource();
// Hide the frame
frame.setVisible(false);
// If the frame is no longer needed, call dispose
frame.dispose();
}
});
