I'm trying to pass data to another class using the window closing event. The problem is i can't seem to add a addWindowListener anywhere without throwing any errors. I'm fairly new to Java, but have some knowledge with C++ and VB. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance!

You can only add WindowListeners to windows. What you have there is a JPanel. You need a JFrame or other root container.

[Fubarable]

Though you can get the enclosing Window via a SwingUtilities method, getWindowAncestor(yourJPanelGoesHere)

[OrangeDog]

And if you use an anonymous inner subclass of WindowAdapter instead of implementing WindowListener, you won't have to include a load of empty methods.

Understood. Thank you!
