I have been working with JInternalFrame and still haven't found the method to stop/ignore a click on the 'closed' icon provided.

In the code I would set JInternal frame to be closable. This brings up the closed icon. When I click on it, the InternalFrame closes.
However, I want to be able to treat it like a Frame with a window closing event. While running, if the 'closed icon' is clicked,
 I want to bring up a dialog box to inqure if the user really wants to close the window or accidently hit it by mistake.
If the return message is no, then the Internal Frame will not close and disappear but remain in it's exact location.

Is there a way to access the button click event on that icon? From a little research, the icons are actually buttons, so how do
I access them? If I'm not mistaked, they are private methods.

A workaround would be appreciated. Thank You

                                    This bug comes back with swing1.1beta2 + jdk1.1.6
                                    The setDefaultCloseOperation with
                                    DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE has no effects and
                                    Window_CLOSING is never fired

                                    This bug is neither fixed nor should it be closed.
                                    Why is it these bugs are so easily closed without
                                    actually being resolved?

                                    I've also observed that the setDefaultCloseOperation with
                                    DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE is ignored when using swing 1.1
                                    beta 2.

                                    What a joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
                                    Nothing fixed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
                                    With jdk117 and swing1.1beta3, setDefaultCloseOperation with
                                    DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE
                                    doesn't works. You can test it with the swingset demo.

                                    The bug is still in JDK 1.2 release --
                                    setDefaultCloseOperation(DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE) has no
                                    effect.The added logic in [JInternalFrame.java]
                                    fireInternalFrameEvent that calls doDefaultCloseAction() does
                                    no good in any case, because setClosed() unconditionally (unless
                                    you veto the vetoable change) fires IS_CLOSED_PROPERTY
                                    property change event that in turn closes the frame. In my opinion
                                    the InternalFrameListener interface is designed very consistently,
                                    but implemented poorely and incorrectly.
