setDefaultCloseOperation to show a JFrame instead

Solution 1
You can set the JFrame DefaultCloseOperation to something like DO_NOTHING, and then, set a WindowsListener to grab the close event and do what you want. I'll post an exemple in a few minutes .
EDIT: Here's the example :
public static void main(String[] args) {
final JFrame frame = new JFrame("Test Frame");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setSize(800, 600);
frame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
//I skipped unused callbacks for readability
@Override
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
if(JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(frame, "Are you sure ?") == JOptionPane.OK_OPTION){
frame.setVisible(false);
frame.dispose();
}
}
});
frame.setVisible(true);
}
Solution 2
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class QuickGuiTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Runnable r = new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
final JFrame frame = new JFrame("Test Frame");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setSize(600, 400);
frame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
@Override
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
int result = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(
frame, "Are you sure?");
if( result==JOptionPane.OK_OPTION){
// NOW we change it to dispose on close..
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(
JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setVisible(false);
frame.dispose();
}
}
});
frame.setVisible(true);
}
};
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(r);
}
}
Solution 3
You have to add a
WindowListener
to theJFrame
.Inside the
windowClosing
method, you can provide required code.
For example:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class ClosingFrame extends JFrame {
private JMenuBar MenuBar = new JMenuBar();
private JFrame frame = new JFrame();
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private JMenu File = new JMenu("File");
private JMenuItem Exit = new JMenuItem("Exit");
public ClosingFrame() {
File.add(Exit);
MenuBar.add(File);
Exit.addActionListener(new ExitListener());
WindowListener exitListener = new WindowAdapter() {
@Override
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
int confirm = JOptionPane.showOptionDialog(frame,
"Are You Sure to Close this Application?",
"Exit Confirmation", JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION,
JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE, null, null, null);
if (confirm == JOptionPane.OK_OPTION) {
System.exit(0);
}
}
};
frame.addWindowListener(exitListener);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setJMenuBar(MenuBar);
frame.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(400, 300));
frame.setLocation(100, 100);
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
}
private class ExitListener implements ActionListener {
@Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
int confirm = JOptionPane.showOptionDialog(frame,
"Are You Sure to Close this Application?",
"Exit Confirmation", JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION,
JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE, null, null, null);
if (confirm == JOptionPane.OK_OPTION) {
System.exit(0);
}
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
ClosingFrame cf = new ClosingFrame();
}
});
}
}

I am making a word processor application in order to practise Java and I would like it so that when the user attempts to close the appliction, a JFrame will come up asking to save changes.
I was thinking about setDefaultCloseOperation() but I have had little luck so far. I would also like it to appear whent he user clicks the "X" on the top right of the window aswell if possible.
