Message:

may be calling on frame object-not dlg object

Posted by Venkata Nukala on September 21, 2000 at 1:33 PM

If your JDialog object is called dlg
call dlg.setVisible(false) in actionPerformed method.
You can also call dlg.dispose() if you you dont need to
activate the dialog again
hope this helps
