Suppose we have a frame
final JFrame jframe = new JFrame("Triangle 3");
To catch window closing events and quit, there are two ways (as I know):
Way1.
jframe.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
Explanation: Exit the system when the window is closed.
Way2.
jframe.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() { public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) { jframe.dispose(); // to release resources for OpenGL System.exit(0); } });
Explanation (reference):
给窗口注册一个事件监听器,
当你点了窗口右上方的叉号时
此方法被调用
若对语法不懂,学习关于java inner class的知识
This catching action is necessary. The system would not quit even if the window has been closed without this event. You can try it yourself.
