how to stop program from closing 1

[TGJ]

Hi, my program is closing if the user presses "yes" or "no" when asked if they want to quit after pressing the "x" on the top right corner of the program. I am wondering how I can keep the program running if they press "no". Thanks.
Here is the code:

public void closeProgram()
{
    int answer = 0;
    answer = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(this, "Are you sure you want to quit?", "ExitProgram?", JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION, JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE);

    if (answer == JOptionPane.YES_OPTION)
    {
        dbAccess.close();
        db.CloseDB();
        System.exit(0);
    }
}

Don't call :

System.exit(0);

?

Seems OK to me.

How are you calling that method?

System.exit(0) is not called if the user chooses option "no".

This is how the method is called:

addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter()
        {
            public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e)
            {
                closeProgram();
            }
        });

Well sounds like the whole app is shutting down any way (windowClosing event) - so is there something you are not showing us ?

Humm

Maybe you need a

 setDefaultCloseOperation(DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE);

for your Frame

Thanks now it works great here is how the code looks now.

addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter()
        {
            public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e)
            {
                setDefaultCloseOperation(DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE);
                closeProgram();
            }
        });
