How to programmatically close a JFrame

Question

What\'s the correct way to get a JFrame to close, the same as if the user had hit the X close button, or pressed Alt+F4 (on W

Answer 1

Based on the answers already provided here, this is the way I implemented it:

JFrame frame= new JFrame()
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

// frame stuffs here ...

frame.dispatchEvent(new WindowEvent(frame, WindowEvent.WINDOW_CLOSING));

The JFrame gets the event to close and upon closing, exits.
