Question

I have an option pane that is displayed upon closing my Application (windowClosing()).
I have the options to exit, minimize or cancel.

How can I close the option pane on selecting ‘cancel’ without closing the entire application?

Object[]options = {"Minimize", "Exit","Cancel"};

        int selection = JOptionPane.showOptionDialog(
            null, "Please select option", "Options", 0, 
            JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE, null, options, options[1]);
        System.out.println(selection);

        switch(selection)
        {
            case 2:
            {
                // do something
            }
        }

You can call yourFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE); inside your windowClosing() method, if user chooses “cancel”….
