One JFrame don't stop other frame's code

Question

When the user clicks on the edit button a new frame is shown to them, and when the new frame is closed i want the refresh line to execute but problem is, the refresh line is executed before closing the new frame...I am using NetBeans for making UI.

//If user clicks on edit button new frame will be shown to him 
EditUserFrame editUserFrame = new EditUserFrame();
Iterator itr = userList.iterator();
while(itr.hasNext()){
    user = (Users)itr.next();
    if((user.getF_name().equals(f_name) && user.getL_name().equals(l_name))){
        break;
    }
}//End of While Loop
editUserFrame.setUserObj(user);
editUserFrame.getExistingValues();
editUserFrame.setVisible(true);
//I want this line to be executed when the editUserFrame is closed..
RefreshUserTable();

I want new Frame like this is it possible to make form given in picture in JOPtionPane as suggested by you guys.

You want to use a modal dialog of some kind. Dialogs are designed to "halt" execution of the program at the point where they are displayed.

Check out How to Make Dialogs.

You can also use a JOptionPane to make your life easier, as they can be configured with different buttons/options relatively easily. Check out JOptionPane Features for an overview

Updated with Example

enter image description here

public class TestOptionPane01 {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new TestOptionPane01();
    }

    public TestOptionPane01() {
        EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                try {
                    UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
                } catch (ClassNotFoundException | InstantiationException | IllegalAccessException | UnsupportedLookAndFeelException ex) {
                }
                
                FormPane formPane = new FormPane();
                int result = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(
                                null, 
                                formPane, 
                                "Edit User", 
                                JOptionPane.OK_CANCEL_OPTION, 
                                -1);
                
                switch (result) {

@MadProgrammer A great Idea to deal with these sort of situation...Thanks for giving your time. — Haseeb Wali, Dec 13 '12 at 12:46

you can use the

'editUserFrame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter()
{
    public void windowClosed(WindowEvent e){
    //call your method from here
        RefreshUserTable();
    }
};'

hope this helps

there are a few other ways to do it, but for this occasion I think this is enough. Glad that I could be of some help. – Aworx Dec 13 '12 at 10:15
@HaseebWali I notice that you have validation in your form, therefore using the JOptionPane OK_CANCEL is not the ideal solution because you do not have direct access to the OK button - it's possible to retrieve the OK button its extra work. in short Using the OK_CANCEL type of the JOptionPane is probably not the best solution. – Aworx Dec 13 '12 at 10:55
Agree with you in this situation particularly – Haseeb Wali Dec 13 '12 at 12:51
