We would like to know how to dispatch Window Event.
import java.awt.GridLayout; import java.awt.event.ActionEvent; import java.awt.event.WindowAdapter; import java.awt.event.WindowEvent; /*from w ww .ja va 2s . c o m*/ import javax.swing.AbstractAction; import javax.swing.JButton; import javax.swing.JDialog; import javax.swing.JLabel; public class Main extends JDialog { public Main() { this.setLayout(new GridLayout(0, 1)); this.add(new JLabel("Dialog event test.", JLabel.CENTER)); this.add(new JButton(new AbstractAction("Close") { @Override public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { Main.this.setVisible(false); Main.this.dispatchEvent(new WindowEvent(Main.this, WindowEvent.WINDOW_CLOSING)); } })); this.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() { @Override public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) { System.out.println(e.paramString()); } }); } private void display() { this.setDefaultCloseOperation(JDialog.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE); this.pack(); this.setLocationRelativeTo(null); this.setVisible(true); } public static void main(String[] args) { new Main().display(); new Thread(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) { try { Thread.sleep(1000); System.out.println((i + 1) + "s. elapsed."); } catch (InterruptedException e) { e.printStackTrace(System.err); } } } }).start(); } }
