Dispose Jframe from another class.

[vahshir]

Hey guys. Just wondering if you can dispose a JFrame from another class. for example I have a button that creates a new JFrame that is in a different class and I want to dispose of the old one? Any pointers would be great.

Cheers Vahshir

What happened when you tried it?

There's no magic about the dispose() method. You can call it in a similar way that you would call any other instance method.

That said, it's usually bad design for an application to have more than one JFrame. The more common idiom is to have one JFrame and use modal JDialogs (or JOptionPane methods that show a modal dialog).
