dispose() gives an "invalid method declaration"

[DennisM]

Hello everyone. I am new to Java and struggling a bit my way through it. My current problem is, I have created a custom MessageBox. But when I want to close/dispose it I am getting the error above. Would appreciate if anyone could give me an advice.

Thanks.

public class CstMsgBox extends javax.swing.JDialog {

    /** Creates new form CstMsgBox */
    public CstMsgBox(java.awt.Frame parent, boolean modal, String labeFiller) {
        super(parent, modal);
        initComponents();
    }

    public void displayCstMsgBox()
    {
        this.setVisible(true);
    }
.
.
.


// when pressing the OK button, MessageBox should disappear
private void jButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
// TODO add your handling code here:
}

    /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */

    dispose();
    
    // Variables declaration - do not modify
    private javax.swing.JButton jButton1;
    private javax.swing.JLabel jLabel1;
    // End of variables declaration
}

Carefully check your curly brackets: the dispose() method call isn't in a body of any method.

kind regards,

Thanks for help, but I still have some troubles. I thought dispose() has the same function as setVisible(false), additionally setting ressources free, which have been used by frame. But my window/MsgBox doesn't disappear, do I have to use setVisible too?

thanks

But you have a method displayCstMsgBox(); don't you use it?

Hmm, I am a bit confused, here what I've got.

public class CstMsgBox extends javax.swing.JDialog {

    /** Creates new form CstMsgBox */
    public CstMsgBox(java.awt.Frame parent, boolean modal, String labeFiller) {
        super(parent, modal);
        initComponents();
    }

    public void displayCstMsgBox(String labelFiller)
    {
        CstOKLabel.setText(labelFiller);
        this.setVisible(true);
    }
...
}

private void CstOKButtonActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
// TODO add your handling code here:
}

    /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    // Close MessageBox
    public void hideCstMsgBox()
    {
        this.dispose();
    }
.
.
}

//Calling my MsgBox
CstMsgBox box = new CstMsgBox(null,true,"Read Successful");
                        box.displayCstMsgBox("Read Successful");
