I have a code that opens up a JOptionPane dialog box once the user hits a button. The first thing I want to do is close the first JFrame as soon as the user hits one of the buttons. I have tried doing this
setVisible(false); // Delete visibility
dispose(); //Delete window
but the original JFrame doesn't close as soon as a button is pressed. The goal is to have two buttons. When one is pressed, show a JOptionPane box, while simultaneously closing the first JFrame window. How can I do that? Next, after the ok is pushed in the new JOptionPane I wan't to stimulate what would be an action listener. I do this by calling the method
sinceyoupressedthecoolbutton();
right after my JOptionPane declaration. Here is where the second issue starts, it displays the JOptionPane perfectly, but doesn't go to the method
sinceyoupressedthecoolbutton();
I don't know if the problem is in the method calling or the content of the method. Basically, after ok is pressed on the JOptionPane, I wan't to move to another method, which opens a new JLabel.
Here is the code:
package Buttons;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.FlowLayout; //layout proper
import java.awt.event.ActionListener; //Waits for users action
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent; //Users action
import javax.swing.JFrame; //Window
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JButton; //BUTTON!!!
import javax.swing.JDialog;
import javax.swing.Icon;
import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane; //Standard dialogue box
public class ButtonClass extends JFrame {
private JButton regular;
private JButton custom;
public ButtonClass() { // Constructor
super("The title"); // Title
setLayout(new FlowLayout()); // Default layout
regular = new JButton("Regular Button");
add(regular);
custom = new JButton("Custom", b);
add(custom);
Handlerclass handler = new Handlerclass();
Otherhandlerclass original = new Otherhandlerclass();
regular.addActionListener(handler);
custom.addActionListener(original);
//THIS WAS MY FIRST PROBLEM, I WANT TO CLOSE THE FIRST JFRAME WINDOW AS THE USER HITS OK
setVisible(false); // Close the show message dialog box
dispose();
}
public class Handlerclass implements ActionListener { // This class is
// inside the other
// class
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent eventvar) { // This will happen
// when button is
// clicked
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, String.format("%s", eventvar.getActionCommand())); //opens a new window with the name of the button
}
}
public class Otherhandlerclass implements ActionListener {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Since you pressed that button, I will open a new window when you press ok, okay?");
//Code works up until here
sinceyoupressedthecoolbutton(); //THIS METHOD SHOULD OPEN A NEW WINDOW!
}
public void sinceyoupressedthecoolbutton() {
JDialog YES = new JDialog();
JLabel label = new JLabel("Here is that new window I promised you!");
add(label);
YES.setDefaultCloseOperation(JDialog.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
YES.setSize(500, 500);
YES.setVisible(true);
}
public class okay implements ActionListener {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ok) {
}
}
}
}
Help would be appreciated!
