I am using a JDialog to display a JTable of rows. If a specific row is double-licked, I want to close the JDialog. I have a listener for the MouseEvent, to get the click count. But how do I force a WindowEvent(Window closing action) from the MouseEvent? Is this even the correct approach?
Thanks for the help (past and present)

I usually call dispose() to close a dialog.

I am not sure from a user interface design that clicking on a row in a table is the way to go.

Here's the scenario:
1. User displays a JFrame with JTextFields
2. One of the JTextFields has a button to look
up a list of choices. Each of the choices has
multiple attributes, so:
3. The choice list is actually a JTable/Scroll
Pane, within a JDialog.
3. The user selects a choice and exits the
JDialog. The selected choice is used to pop-
ulate the original JTextField.
I just want the user to be able to double-click the choice, which would make the selection, AND
close the JDialog. Makes sense?

So...
Given that scenario, can I somehow force a Window Closing event?
If I use the dispose method, the Dialog is garbage collected (apparently immediately), and I cannot retrieve any of its attributes (I CAN get the attributes after WindowClose is executed).
Any ideas?

You could call hide() it or you could set the values within your double click check.
