Hi everyone -
I've got a program with a frame as the parent window. The user enters some data into fields and I do a check to see if any of the fields have been left empty. If any have, I want a small dialog box to pop up saying "You forgot to fill 'n' window" .. I created the dialog box (modal) and a window listener so that when the user presses the X on the dialog box, it will close it. However, I CAN'T for the life of me get the "error" dialog box I created to CLOSE!!
In the 'window_closing' function I've tried:
dispose();
hide();
setVisible(false);
Here's my code for the box:
// Created outside the function
Dialog error = new Dialog(window, "Error", true);
public void PopUpError() {
error.setSize(200, 200);
error.show();

error.addWindowListener( new WindowAdapter() {
public void windowClosing( WindowEvent e )
{
error.dispose();
}
} );

HELP! This is probably easy and I just am not seeing it.

}

Why not use Swing components!? :-)
It seems somehow that AWT Dialog with Modal mode cannot catch
WindowClosing event.
Could someone tell me why and how(mechanism)?
Note:
JDialog need not to attach the Listener !!
I hope my sample test code can help you.

Eric, since you just want to show the error message, you can use an inbuilt swing message dialog by using the following:
JOpeionPane.showMessageDialog(parent, message, title, DialogType)
for example:
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, "Please fill all fields!", "Error", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
