Question

I have a form for the user to fill out in a JFrame which then writes the collected data to a JTable in a different class.

I’m trying to configure it that when the user selects “Submit” that the JFrame will close, but not close down the program. What would be the command I need to achieve this?

The code for the submit button is as follows is as follows:

JButton bMark = new JButton("Submit");
    bMark.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
            String start = tbStart.getText();
            String end = tbEnd.getText();

            String[] marking = {start, end, active, body, dysk, trem, brady};

            //This is just for me to ensure the collected data is correct
            System.out.println(marking[0] + " " +marking[1] + " " +marking[2] + " " + 
                    marking[3] + " " + marking[4] + " " + marking[5] + " " + marking[6]);

            //This is is the class the form data is being sent to
            markTable.main(marking);

            //This is where I would like the close the current window

        }
    });
    bMark.setBounds(308, 191, 86, 23);

The class name is createMark and the method is public createMark

Thanks to anyone who replies,

You need to set the default close operation on the JFrame as such:

frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.HIDE_ON_CLOSE);

This will take care of the case where the user closes the window using the title bar or hits something like Alt+F4.

Next, simply call setVisible(false) when the submit button is pressed.
