Buttons events dispatched twice

Hi!

Into my main class I Create JDialogs, and I use JDialog.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE as
defaultCloseOperation and setVisible(true) in order to show it. When I run
my application for first time, and clicking on menu item I create a
JDialog, so, I can use Toolbar buttons with no problems, actionPerformed is
executed normally, just once, everything works OK. I close my Dialog and re-
entering for second time begin problems. Toolbar buttons actionPerformed
are executed twice, what happen?, this problem I noted, happens exactly
when JDialog are loaded (created with new) for second time or more times.
It is not supposed closing JDialog, will dispose every component content
into it?, I tried using windowClosing event doing super.dispose(); and
this.dispose(); but nothing at all. Is like closing JDialog it leave it
hidden but not destroyed even using DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE. It is just only thing
I guess actionPerformed on button events be dispatched twice, I don't know!

I use jdk1.5.0_02 (update 2)

Thanks

In your actionPerformed, do you check to see if the button is the
source of the event?

I'm adding JButtons on toolbar by for loop like this:

for (int i = 0; .....; i++) {
JButton myButton = new JButton(..);
myButton.addActionListener(this);
myButton.addActionCommand(String.Format("%d", i));
...
}

So you can Note I use actionCommand as Button ID. and...

public void actionPerformed(...e) {
if (((JButton)e.getSource).getActionCommand.equals("0") {
<instructions>
}
if (((JButton)e.getSource).getActionCommand.equals("1") {
<instructions>
}

..
}

when JDialog loas for first time (created using new) actionPerformed
dispatched well and instructions are executed OK. BUt exiting from JDialog
and re-entering againg actionPerformed are dispatched twice so,
instructions are executed twice.

Does your class have any static members?
If your JButtons are stored static class members, this could result in
the problem you are describing.

No!

How I said buttons are dynamically created like as: JButton myButton = new
JButton(); no static member.

I just tried on windowClosing - JDialog, setVisible(false); and dispose();
but nothing happen, trying to destroy whatever dialog visible and hidden
could have.

Are you adding an additional actionListener, so that two actions are
performed for the one event?

Note that, although all Objects (eg windows and frames) are disposed on
closing, the Classes are not always. This would mean that any
information stored in static variables would remain in memory.
Are you creating the window in a static member variable? like this

class MyApp{
static JFrame myFrame = new MyFrame();
public static void main(String[] s){
myFrame.setVisible(true);
}
}

if so, your frame object may persist across different instatiations of
the app.

You could try using System.exit() when the application is closed. if it
is a static problem, this might fix it.
