Java Applet

ekl_n · 02-25-2005, 08:02 PM

I'm a beginner in Java programing.

I would like to know how the close the applet with the "Exit" button I have created to allow the user to close the applet without need to click onto the 'X' at the window top right hand-side button.

i use this code "System.exit(0);" to close the program but it seem don't work and a list on error display in the Dos by the Java compiler.

I don't understand why my can't workout because when i have referred to many Java reference book & most of the book use "System.exit(0);" to close the applet.

Pls advice

System.exit is not allowed in applets for security reasons. See this:

if your applet is on a JFrame, have the action listener for the button do something like

Code:

yourframe.dispose();

i'm efficient with java, but i haven't coded any applets, so if i'm wrong, my bad.
