What is your code? Or it's all the behavior generated by Net Beans? – rendon Apr 20 '14 at 04:24

1This has nothing to do with Netbeans. – Anubian Noob Apr 20 '14 at 04:25

1I am creating a program for inventory management where i have 3-4 frames but when i close any other frame the main frame also closes. – user3551620 Apr 20 '14 at 04:28

Debugging your code is pretty difficult when we don't have your code... – takendarkk Apr 20 '14 at 04:29

1The code itself generated by netbeans so i just want to close a single frame not the program what to do? – user3551620 Apr 20 '14 at 04:35

I've never used Netbeans before but does that IDE seriously not give you an option to edit the generated code? – PakkuDon Apr 20 '14 at 04:38

You most certainly _can_ edit the code generated by it's Gui builder. – takendarkk Apr 20 '14 at 04:39

Again, the proper solution is to use a JDialog. Why fight this? – Hovercraft Full Of Eels Apr 20 '14 at 14:27

An application should only have a single JFrame.
If you need child windows then use a JDialog. When you close a dialog is does not close the main JFrame.
However, for information regarding a JFrame check out the setDefaultCloseOperation(...) method. The default is to "hide" the frame. So if your application is exiting then that means you are probably using the System.exit(...) method somewhere in your code which you should not be doing.

1I am not using System.exit anywhere. I am using the X button on the frame which was already there not programmed by me. – user3551620 Apr 20 '14 at 04:52

@user3551620, so a JDialog is the same as a JFrame except for the class name. It will take a minute to change the code. There is no time like the present to learn how to design an application properly. This is a small change. – camickr Apr 20 '14 at 04:53

@user3551620, `I am not using System.exit anywhere`, did you read the API for the method I mentioned? Does the generated code use that method? `Umm but i want to close the frame not the program` - which is why you should use a JDialog and NOT a JFrame. The default behaviour is to close the dialog when you click on the "X" button. – camickr Apr 20 '14 at 04:56

Found in the properties of the Jframe which i want to close defaultCloseOperation was set to EXIT_ON_CLOSE i set it to Dispose.

As I suggested in my answer. This is still not the proper solution. If you don't believe me then check out: [The Use of Multiple JFrames, Good/Bad Practice?](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9554636/the-use-of-multiple-jframes-good-bad-practice) for more information. – camickr Apr 20 '14 at 05:18
