How to close a GUI when I push a JButton

Question

Does anyone know how to make a jbutton close a gui  I think it is like System CLOSE 0   but that didnt work  it also could be exitActionPerformed evt    but that didn t work either  just the line of code will work   EDIT  never mind guys  the answer was System exit 0    thanks for the help though

By using System exit 0   you would close the entire process  Is that what you wanted or did you intend to close only the GUI window and allow the process to continue running   The quickest  easiest and most robust way to simply close a JFrame or JPanel with the click of a JButton is to add an actionListener to the JButton which will execute the line of code below when the JButton is clicked   this dispose      If you are using the NetBeans GUI designer  the easiest way to add this actionListener is to enter the GUI editor window and double click the JButton component  Doing this will automatically create an actionListener and actionEvent  which can be modified manually by you

See JFrame setDefaultCloseOperation DISPOSE ON CLOSE 1   You might also use EXIT ON CLOSE  but it is better to explicitly clean up any running threads  then when the last GUI element becomes invisible  the EDT  amp  JRE will end   The  button  to invoke this operation is already on a frame     See this answer to How to best position Swing GUIs  for a demo  of the DISPOSE ON CLOSE functionality The JRE will end after all 3 frames are closed by clicking the X button

Add your button   JButton close   new JButton  Close      Add an ActionListener   close addActionListner new CloseListener       Add a class for the Listener implementing the ActionListener interface and override its main function   private class CloseListener implements ActionListener       Override     public void actionPerformed ActionEvent e              DO SOMETHING         System exit 0             This might be not the best way  but its a point to start  The class for example can be made public and not as a private class inside another one
