form survives and reappears after dispose???

[timasmith]

I have a form with an 'add' button which creates a new dialog with a
panel to add new data and an ok or cancel which both call dispose();

The code is something *similar* to the example below.

The wierd part is when I click on the cmdAdd button again - it does not
create a new dialog rather it shows the old dialog with a panel filled
out with my data contents! It is fixed if I dispose the originating
dialog (not desired).

Not very helpful and quite strange. I cant help wondering if it is the
use of 'final' below which I use to get a reference from within the
ActionListener

Any ideas?


cmdAdd.addActionListener(new UIActionListener(frame) {
public void actionExecuted(ActionEvent e) throws Exception {
final MyDialog dialog = new MyDialog(frame);
dialog.getCancelButton.addActionListener(new
UIActionListener(frame) {
public void actionExecuted(ActionEvent e) throws Exception {
dialog.dispose();
}
});
dialog.getAddButton().addActionListener(new MyActionListener(frame)
{
public void actionExecuted(ActionEvent e) throws Exception {
MyServices.updateDate(addDataModel);
myList.setList(getReferenceList(), 60);
dialog.dispose();
};
});

you need to read up on the java.
Dispose, does not do what you think it does.

you could try :
dialog.dispose();
dialog=null;
