Is the listener object an object separate from the Frame object?

A good answer might be:

Yes—in this program. Later on you will see that this need not be so.

Picture of the Program

The picture shows how this program is organized. When the program is running there are two persistant objects (the frame and the listener) and occasional event objects. A channel of communication has been established between the frame object and its listener object. The main() method has a reference variable for each. main() is a static method, so it is not part of an object.



QUESTION 9:

What is the method (part of the listener object) that receives the window closing events?
