Need help on closing frame

Question

I have a new frame that opens from a menu and I want to be able to push a button and have that frame (the frame the button is in) to close, kind of like a cancel button so you push cancel and nothing happens except the frame closes.
Here is my code for this frame:
public class Logout extends JFrame
    JPanel contentPane;
    BorderLayout borderLayout1 = new BorderLayout();
    GridBagLayout logoutGridBag = new GridBagLayout();
    JButton buttonLogout = new JButton();
    JButton buttonCancel = new JButton();
    public Logout()
        try
            jbInit();
        catch (Exception exception)
            exception.printStackTrace();
    private void jbInit() throws Exception
        contentPane = (JPanel) getContentPane();
        contentPane.setLayout(logoutGridBag);
        buttonLogout.setText("Logout");
        buttonCancel.setText("Cancel");
        //Cancel Logout, return to main menu
        buttonCancel.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt)
        contentPane.add(buttonCancel,
                        new GridBagConstraints(1, 0, 1, 1, 0.0, 0.0
                                               , GridBagConstraints.SOUTHEAST,
                                               GridBagConstraints.NONE,
                                               new Insets(9, 10, 7, 3), 4, 51));
        contentPane.add(buttonLogout,
                        new GridBagConstraints(0, 0, 1, 1, 0.0, 0.0
                                               , GridBagConstraints.NORTH,
                                               GridBagConstraints.NONE,
                                               new Insets(8, 16, 4, 17), 2, 52));
}Thanks

Well not sure what else I can try to get this frame to close.As I said you should be using a JDialog not a JFrame
Problem is that the whole application closes and not just the frame I have up.So create a [url http://www.physci.org/codes/sscce.jsp]Simple Executable Demo Program that shows this behaviour. That way we don't have to guess what you are doing. You should be able to do this in about 15-20 lines of code and you will learn alot:
a) create a JFrame with a JButton on it.
b) add code to the button to create a display a JDialog
c) on the JDialog add a JButton to close the dialog
Read the [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/TOC.html]Swing Tutorial if you need help with any of these basic steps to GUI building.
