</div>

I’m attempting to create an onClick event on a component that will close the client. I want to disable the menu bar for aesthetics-sake, but still want to be able to close the client elsewhere. Any ideaas how to do this? I’m assuming I have to somehow traverse the object model to the JFrame object and close it, but unsure how to do so.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
