Hello,

I need help getting everything to close by selecting quit. I have tried several things and none seem to work. the rest of the code works great but I can not get everything to close.

import myGui.*;
import java.util.Vector;
import java.io.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.FileDialog;


class Music
{
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		String[] prompts = {"Name of Song", "Name of Artist","Category Of Song"};
		String[] whatNext = {"Insert Song Name","Find Song Name","List all Songs","Load from File","Save Songs","Print Store Info","Print Store Owner Info","Quit"};
		
		String[] fields = new String[3];
		
		Vector dataStore = new Vector();
		
		WindowPane screen = new WindowPane();
		RadioButtons buttons = new
		RadioButtons(screen, "What next?", whatNext);
		TextInput Song = new TextInput(screen, "Name of Song?");
		DataInputBox input = new DataInputBox(screen, prompts);
		DataOutputBox output = new
		DataOutputBox(screen, prompts, "The Music Plus Song File");
		WritingPad notes = new WritingPad(screen);
		
		screen.showWindowPane();
		buttons.showRadioButtons();
		String choice = buttons.getNameOfButton();
		
		while (! choice.equals("Quit"))
		{
			if (choice.equals("Insert Song Name"))
			{
				input.showDataInputBox();
				fields = input.getFields();
				
				dataStore.addElement(new Song(fields[0],fields[1],fields[2]));
			}
			else if (choice.equals("Find Song Name"))
			{
				Song.showTextInput();
				String nameOfSong = Song.getString();
				
				for (int index=0; index != dataStore.size(); index++)
				{
					Song datum = (Song)
					dataStore.elementAt(index);
					
					if (nameOfSong.equals(datum.getName()))
					{
						output.showDataOutputBox();
						fields[0] = datum.getName();
						fields[1] = datum.getArtist();
						fields[2] = datum.getCategory();
						output.setFields(fields);
					}
				}
			}
				else if (choice.equals("List all Songs"))
			{
				Song datum;
				
				notes.showWritingPad();
				for (int index=0; index != dataStore.size(); index++)
				{
					datum = (Song)
								dataStore.elementAt(index);
					notes.write(datum.getName()+
							" "+datum.getArtist()+
							" "+datum.getCategory()+"\n");
				}
				notes.write("\n");
			}
			else if (choice.equals("Load from File"))
			{
				FileDialog file = new
				FileDialog(screen,"",FileDialog.LOAD);
				file.show();
				
				String filename = file.getFile();
				if ( filename != null)
				{
					try
						{
							FileInputStream fis = new
							FileInputStream(filename);
							ObjectInputStream in = new
							ObjectInputStream(fis);
							
							Vector newStore = (Vector)in.readObject();
							in.close();
							dataStore = newStore;
						}
						catch (Exception e){}
				}
			}
			else if (choice.equals("Save Songs"))
			{
				FileDialog file = new
				FileDialog(screen, "",FileDialog.SAVE);
				file.show();
				
				String filename = file.getFile();
				if (filename !=null)
				{
					try
						{
							FileOutputStream fos = new
							FileOutputStream(filename);
							ObjectOutputStream out = new
							ObjectOutputStream(fos);
							out.writeObject(dataStore);
							out.flush();
							out.close();
						}
						catch (IOException e){}
				}
			}
			else if (choice.equals("Print Store Info"))
			  {
				notes.showWritingPad();
				
					notes.write("Music Plus\nMusic Mall\nMusic Country, USA\n\n");
					notes.write("\n");
			  }
			else if (choice.equals("Print Store Owner Info"))
				{
					notes.showWritingPad();
				
					notes.write("Owners of Music Plus:\nMusic People & Friends\n\n");
					notes.write("\n");
					}
					
			buttons.showRadioButtons();
			choice = buttons.getNameOfButton();
		}
  }

Place

dispose();

at the end of your loop.

Why do you want to clean up if your application closes ?

the assignment was to get the songs to be able to input, list, find,save, load and quit the program with selecting quit.

but i still have to close each window individually. they need to all close when i select quit. that has to be one of the most unhelpful posts i have ever read on here.

System.exit(0);
and Java will close all your windoes for you
Your are not in C++ where you have to do your garbage collection, Java will do it for you
OK unhelpful post I shut out... but you are wasting your time more than I do
