How do you stop a window frame from closing

[Reza Beheshti]

Hi,

I am new to Java (Been doing C++ and VC++ for years though!), just started using VCafe 3.0.

I am trying to find a way to prevent a window from closing.

When I trap a "WindowClosing" message in WindowEvent, how do I stop it from getting further up to the UI chain and prevent the window closing?

Thank.

After creating the frame call the function


frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE );

After having trapped the "WindowClosing" message in WindowEvent just consume it

using consume method of .. I think of Event Class.

Actually this won't work. Swing does not check whether the event is consumed

but instead only looks at the 'closeoperation' flag.
