java - How to close current JFrame? -

i have read similar topics did find answer there.

i created jframe close button. after click want close current window. try setdefaultcloseoperation(jframe.hide_on_close), or setvisible(false).

public class windows {  jframe frame;  jframe frame1;   public windows(){  }     public jframe getcreateframe(){    frame1 = new jframe("create user");   frame1.setsize(500,500);   frame1.setvisible(true);   frame1.getcontentpane().add(new panels().getwelcomtxtlabelpanel1(), borderlayout.north);   frame1.getcontentpane().add(new panels().getcreateuser(), borderlayout.south);    frame1.getcontentpane().add(new panels().getuserlabel(), borderlayout.west);   frame1.getcontentpane().add(new panels().getuserfield(), borderlayout.center);   return frame1;      }   } 

here button.

public jbutton getcancelbutton(){   cancel = new jbutton("cancel");  cancel.addactionlistener(new actionlistener() {   public void actionperformed(actionevent e){           new windows().getcreateframe().setdefaultcloseoperation(jframe.hide_on_close);                }          }); return cancel;      } 

the problem following action (and not this):

cancel.addactionlistener(new actionlistener() {    public void actionperformed(actionevent e){       new windows().getcreateframe().setdefaultcloseoperation(jframe.hide_on_close);    } }); 

here create new windows object , call getcreateframe() creates new jframe , call setdefaultcloseoperation() on it.

so you work different windows / jframe instances.

instead should create jframe in constructor of windows , call setdefaultcloseoperation(jframe.hide_on_close) of jframe in constructor well.

afterwards can use setvisible(false) in action - jframe , not new created one.

btw. getcancelbutton() should not create new button every time called.
