hi lenny! JDialog should do the job for you. use one of these constructors: - JDialog(Dialog owner, boolean modal) Creates a modal or non-modal dialog without a title and with the specified owner dialog. - JDialog(Dialog owner, String title, boolean modal) Creates a modal or non-modal dialog with the specified title and the specified owner frame. - JDialog(Frame owner, boolean modal) Creates a modal or non-modal dialog without a title and with the specified owner Frame. - JDialog(Frame owner, String title, boolean modal) Creates a modal or non-modal dialog with the specified title and the specified owner Frame. [http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/javax/swing/JDialog.html] should work well in an application. in an applet, i have had problems, as the dialog box is only modal to its parent component, and not the browser it was spawned off of. prakrity --- ORIGINAL MESSAGE --- From: "Reynshteyn, Leonid" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: ModalDialog that is always on top. Date: Wed, 11 Apr 2001 16:41:01 -0400 Does anyone know how to create a modal dialog box in Java Swing that is always on top of other components (i.e., can't be hidden by the other components until the user closes it)?
