Close a frame from another frame

[ced88]

Like the title says, I want to close a frame while i'm inside another frame.

I've got 2 frames. Frame 1 is called Create and Frame 2 is called Manual.
Inside Frame 1 is a button that should close Frame 2.

This is the piece of code for the button that should close Frame 2.

class btnHandleidingUitHandler implements ActionListener
    {
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
        {
            Handleiding.setVisible(false);
        }
    }

For some odd reason this doesn't work. Anyone out there that can help me with this?

Try using JFrame.dispose() method. it's inherited from the Window class.

here is an example:

import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;

public class Test {

    public static void main(String args[]) {
        JFrame src = new JFrame();
        JButton btnOpen = new JButton("Open new");
        final JFrame dest = new JFrame();
        dest.setSize(100, 100);
        JButton btnClose = new JButton("Close it");
        btnOpen.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {

            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                dest.setVisible(true);
            }
        });
        btnClose.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {

            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                dest.dispose();
            }
        });
        src.getContentPane().add(btnOpen, BorderLayout.NORTH);
        src.getContentPane().add(btnClose, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
        src.setSize(200, 200);
        src.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        src.setVisible(true);
    }
}
