How to Custom Fire a windowClosing event

[Frank Stillwell]

Hi,

I have a Frame that I have subclassed. When I click the "X" on the frame, I
can set the frame hidden by catching the windowClosing event in the Window
Adapter. I can also see this event occur if I instantiate the frame from
another class and set up a Window Listener on it.

Now, in addition to the "X" icon, I also have a "Close" button in the
subclassed frame. In the button's actionPerformed Actionevent handler, I
call my OnClose() routine (see below). When this happens, I also would like
a windowClosing event to fire, so other classes can determine that the
window is closing.

However, the code below is not accomplishing that, where I try to "manually"
fire the event. No event is seen in my other class (which *does* see an
event if I click the "X").

Ideas ? I tried it two different ways below, no luck.

private void onClose()

Event Windowclosing;
// Seems to be not working
java.awt.event.WindowEvent WINDOW_CLOSING; // Doesn't seem to work
either
this.setVisible(false);
// Window does disappear
}

Thanks in advance.progr

Try
Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemEventQueue().postEvent(
new WindowEvent(yourFrameRef, WindowEvent.WINDOW_CLOSING));

processWindowEvent(new WindowEvent(this,WindowEvent.WINDOW_CLOSING));
