Question

hi all,
I am in need of some guidance, my program uses a GUI but i have a problem in that when the user clicks the window close button at the top right of the screen i need to execute some code but i am unable to do so, have i got the correct method? :o(
public boolean handleEvent (Event e)
    boolean value = false;
    if ((e.target == this) && (e.id == Event.WINDOW_DESTROY))
      if (listener != null)
       //here i would like to execute some code before setting the boolean variable
        value = true;
      else
         value = false;
    return value;
  }//end handle event()

Good day,
As far as I'm concered, the "handleEvent (Event e)" has been deprecated and "processEvent(AWTEvent event)" should be used instead since JDK 1.1.
I have an occurance of that "handleEvent" thing that I would like to "convert" to "processEvent", however I'm having problems with that.
The first, which is simple, is to remove the true/false on the return statement of the handler. "handleEvent()" returns a boolean, whereas "processEvent()" returns nothing.
When I try to get the value of the "event.id" or "event.target", the compiler claims that the information is protected.
Can someone be nice enough to provide a code snippet to ease the transition between the "handleEvent()" and "processEvent()" things ?
Best regards.
