Dialog in Java..

sxb3131

Does any body know how to create a modal dialog in
java using swing. I have the code done but it has
a problem.

Problem Description:
--------------------
When the dialog is popped up, I access other windows and this
dialog and the actual window are hidden beneath them. Now I
click on the icon at the bottom of the screen for the actual
window which created this dialog. Now the dialog is not shown
on the screen and I cannot do anything with the main window.
Looks to the customer like this window is dead. Only option
I have is to do ALT-TAB to browse through all the windows and
go to the java icon which is not shown on the bottom of the screen.

Let me know if there is a remedy or workaround for this problem.

The code for dialog:
--------------------
JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(this,
(String) message,
(String) title),
JOptionPane.OK_CANCEL_OPTION ,
JOptionPane.WARNING_MESSAGE);

Let me know if there are any solutions for this problem..
Thanks

Sun doesn't recommend using JOptionPane for a modal dialog box.

Check this link for their solution...

I tried this link in sun website already a couple of times and it
does not help me whatsoever.

Is there any way of having a JDialog stay on top of the current
window always until the user chooses an option in the dialog.
Let me know. I have been dealing with this problem for quite
some time and I am pissed off with this junk.

Let me know if you have any pointers.

Thanks in advance..
