I'm writing a simple program where I have multiple JFrame windows but when I use multiple they stack and I've tried to set their visibility to false that isn't working so I'm trying to simulate a close so the frames don't stack on top of each other but I don't know what to use since my program isn't a window.

public void close(){
    WindowEvent winClosingEvent = new WindowEvent(this, WindowEvent.WINDOW_CLOSING);
    Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemEventQueue().postEvent(winClosingEvent);
}

on the this I keep getting a error of 

incompatible types: Program1 cannot be converted to Window

If someone has a better way of doing this please let me know I cant find a better way that's working for me.

    My first question is **why** your program would display multiple JFrames as most real-world programs display only one main window? Please see [The Use of Multiple JFrames, Good/Bad Practice?](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9554636) for more on this. My next question would be why would you try to call a window event on a non-window? – Hovercraft Full Of Eels Apr 06 '17 at 00:06
  • Well my professor is asking for multiple JFrames I know it isn't practical but he want us to use it enough to understand it. I am trying to figure out how to close it and if a windows event would do the trick I'm tired of wasting time trying to figure this out, when I have more to work on. – D Rodriguez Apr 06 '17 at 00:09
  • *"Ive tried to set their visibility to false that isn't working"* - is an issue which needs to be investigated as it should work just fine, likely cause is, the frame you're trying to update isn't the one on the screen - but that's a guess and we don't have a runnable example demonstrates your problem – MadProgrammer Apr 06 '17 at 00:11
  • Ive tried to recall the method that contains the JFrame by adding a If else stamen and with a parameter of int. So when I recall the method if sets the visibility to false when I make the if true. – D Rodriguez Apr 06 '17 at 00:16

    `"I'm tired of wasting time trying to figure this out, when I have more to work on."` -- then if you want a quick decent solution, you're probably going to have to make the question easier to answer. Please consider creating and posting a valid [mcve] as suggested by @MadProgrammer above. It will give you your best chance of getting an answer quickly. This is not the entire program nor non-runnable snippets but rather a small new program, posted with your question as code-formatted text, that we can copy, compile, and run without altering it. It will have a main method and imports and all. – Hovercraft Full Of Eels Apr 06 '17 at 00:18
  • Edit: no, not in pastebin. All code must be posted as code-formatted text with your question. – Hovercraft Full Of Eels Apr 06 '17 at 00:19
  • OK, I've posted your code from pastebin into your question -- but I only see **one** JFrame being used, not the multiple that you mention. Please clarify. – Hovercraft Full Of Eels Apr 06 '17 at 00:26

    What do images, fonts, and all those controls have to do with the problem? If, as I suspect 'nothing', they should not be included in the example. Get this working in the simplest form first. Given the problem description, that would involve just two frames, and maybe a single button in one of them to trigger the close action. *"my professor is asking for multiple JFrames"* Tell your professor, from me, that they are a moron who should not be teaching until they learn how stupid that is. *"but he want us to use it enough to understand it."* Evidence suggests **they** don't understand it. .. – Andrew Thompson Apr 06 '17 at 00:34
  • .. if they did, they would not be setting such a pointless, time wasting task for the students. In fact, tell them to show you their working implementation. Not the code, just the frames on-screen. Once they've tried it, they'll be a lot less keen to set such ridiculous tasks for their students. – Andrew Thompson Apr 06 '17 at 00:35
  • Ive added some more code from a previods version that I ended up dumping because the professor didn't want what I added . But this is the code or a little modified to be added in the new one but Ive tried to close them they will not close they just stack with the newest one on top – D Rodriguez Apr 06 '17 at 00:43
  • I see it better if I post all of the code later tonight when it is done or near done to see whats the best I can do. – D Rodriguez Apr 06 '17 at 00:45
  • 1
    No, again, don't post all the code. If you want a quick solution, you will want to create a new separate small program, one without unnecessary bits. Please read or re-read the [mcve] link. – Hovercraft Full Of Eels Apr 06 '17 at 00:51
  • Ok thank you ill delete this post and repost issue when near completion – D Rodriguez Apr 06 '17 at 01:05

You didn't put enough information and explanation to your exact problem but here is what I can help you with : To make a JFrame close when you click on the OS provided close button (at the top right corner usually) this will work for you (put it in the class that controlls your JFrame which also extends JFrame class ) :

this.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

To close a JFrame on an a specific event use :

this.dispose();

To make a JFrame invisible use this :

this.setVisible(false);
