How to close the window in AWT?

Question

I am creating a small application using AWT. When I try to close the window, the \"close\" button doesn\'t work.

Here\'s my code:

import java.awt.*;
         


        

Answer 1

It's better to use the method public void dispose()

Why should you have to dispose() a java.awt.Window that goes out of scope?

f.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
        public void windowClosing(WindowEvent we) {
            dispose();
         }
     }
);
