Passing of data through GUI

Question

Hi all ,
I have a simple question here..... but being a newbie and extremely pressed for time , I hope some kind soul can help me with thiis ....
I hava a main class. From the main class I involve a GUI to collect information from the user ....
public void collectinformation ( )
abc = new abcGUI();
// rest of the codes
if (abc.getStatus = true)
else
how do i make the application to wait for the GUI to get dispose before executing the rest of the codes ???
(Instead of running the GUI and immediately proceed with the rest of the codes ???)
Thank a lot in advance !!

Answer 1

my situation is like this
I have 2 classes: 1 main one, 2 subclass that helps to collect user data
*************************** subclass *******************************************
public class subclass implements ActionListener
public AuthGUIG8()
//Create and set up the window.
mainFrame = new JFrame("Authentication");
mainFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
//converterFrame.setSize(new Dimension(120, 40));
//Create and set up the panel.
mainPanel = new JPanel(new GridLayout(3, 3));
//Add the widgets.
addControls();
//Set the default button.
mainFrame.getRootPane().setDefaultButton(okButton);
//Add the panel to the window.
mainFrame.getContentPane().add(mainPanel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
//Display the window.
mainFrame.pack();
     mainFrame.addWindowListener
mainFrame.setVisible(true);
     iFailAttempt = 0;
     bNewbie = false;
************* main class *************************
public class mainclass
subclass abc = new subclass()
// rest of the codes
if abc.getStatus == true
else
unless I can implement window Listener for window closing event on the main class to listen to the GUI created in the subclass, otherwise the window listener will not work rite ??
In this case I will still have the "rest of the codes" been run b4 the GUI in the subclass was disposed rite ??
how can i get rid of this multithreading situation ???
please advise. Thank you in advance ..
