20 easy points, Re: closing Frames

Thanks for the quick reply.

Your I have tried your suggestions. Here is the code that I thought would do the job; however, when I hit the 'X' in Win 95 to close the frame nothing happens.

Thanks

 public boolean handleEvent(Event event)
  {  
      if (event.id == Event.WINDOW_DESTROY)
      {
            hide();         // hide the Frame
            dispose();      // free the system resources
            System.exit(0); // close the application
            return true;
      }
      return super.handleEvent(event);
   }

What platform and JDK version are you running under?

Since a Frame is derived from Window, which is derived from container which is derived from component, you might want to try:

YourFrame.getParrent().remove(YourFrame);

and see if that works.
