Class DialogCloseAction

java.lang.Object
  javax.swing.AbstractAction
      net.sf.swinglib.actions.DialogCloseAction

All Implemented Interfaces:

ActionListener, Serializable, Cloneable, EventListener, Action

public class DialogCloseAction
extends AbstractAction

When invoked, this action hides or disposes the associated dialog.

It's primarily used for implementations where the dialog is managed by a controller class that wraps that dialog's fields. Such dialogs do not need to take specific actions in response to the "OK" or "Cancel" button, because the controller handles that.

When to dispose versus hide: dispose dialogs that are infrequently used; this will free system resources. However, when you dispose a dialog you need to pack() it before displaying it again.
