I know this question has been addressed many times, but I tried everything to make it work properly. First and foremost, I create a JDialog as my loading pop-up when the user login is legitimate. Then I create a Timer to automatically dismiss the frame, and my main menu appears. However, my main menu is also shutting. I set the defaultCloseOperation to DO NOTHING ON CLOSE as well.

CodePudding user response：
This...
LoginForm exit = new LoginForm();
exit.dispatchEvent(new WindowEvent(exit, WindowEvent.WINDOW_CLOSING));
makes no sense at all, the instance of LoginForm you've created here has nothing to do with the one which was created eailier, in fact, Loading has no responsibility for managing it, it's beyong it's scope.
A simple solution would be to make use of an "observer pattern", so that when Loading has actually completed, it can inform any intertested parties and they have can take care of what should be done next.
For example...
public class Loading extends javax.swing.JDialog {
public interface Observer {
public void loadingDidComplete();
}
private Observer observer;
public Loading(java.awt.Frame parent, Observer observer) {
super(parent, true);
this.observer = observer;
initComponents();
this.setBackground(new java.awt.Color(0, 0, 0, 0));
Timer timer = new Timer(10000, new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
observer.loadingDidComplete();
}
});
timer.setRepeats(false);
timer.start();
}
And then in your LoginForm you could so something like...
private void LoginMouseClicked(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) {
Loading loading = new Loading(this, new Loading.Observer() {
@Override
public void loadingDidComplete() {
dispose();
JFrame frame = new MainMenu();
frame.pack();
frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
});
loading.setLocationRelativeTo(this);
loading.setVisible(true);
}
Oh, and you really, really need to look at How to Use Buttons, Check Boxes, and Radio Buttons and How to Write an Action Listener, again, stop using the form editor, it's not doing your any favours
However, oddly enough, since you're using a modal dialog, you could simply do...
private void LoginMouseClicked(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) {
Loading loading = new Loading(this);
loading.setLocationRelativeTo(this);
loading.setVisible(true);
dispose();
JFrame frame = new MainMenu();
frame.pack();
frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
and get the same effect
