Closing parent element of a JPanel

Question

Is it possible to close parent element of a component .. probably a JFrame/JInternalFrame from a JPanel? if yes how it can be done?

Answer 1

This will help you:

SwingUtilities.windowForComponent(panel).dispose();

or

SwingUtilities.windowForComponent(panel).setVisible(false);

Answer 2

Modified version of this answer

public class CustomPanel extends JPanel {

  private JFrame parent; //Need to pass this reference somehow, constructor or otherwise

  public void closeJFrame() {
    WindowEvent winEvent = new WindowEvent(parent, WindowEvent.WINDOW_CLOSING);
    Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemEventQueue().postEvent(winEvent );
  }
}
