yes, the modal-mode works using the following code, but I don't know how to return from the xInfoBox.execute() method in a programmatic way. I need to stop the execution of the infobox-dialog when my jframe-dialog returns. I already tried to use dispose() on the XComponent-Interface of xInfoBox from a different thread, but that caused OOo to crash. ... create Toolkit ... // describe the info box ini it's parameters com.sun.star.awt.WindowDescriptor aDescriptor = new com.sun.star.awt.WindowDescriptor(); aDescriptor.WindowServiceName = "infobox"; aDescriptor.Bounds = new com.sun.star.awt.Rectangle(0, 0, 300, 200); aDescriptor.WindowAttributes = com.sun.star.awt.WindowAttribute.BORDER | com.sun.star.awt.WindowAttribute.MOVEABLE | com.sun.star.awt.WindowAttribute.CLOSEABLE; aDescriptor.Type = com.sun.star.awt.WindowClass.MODALTOP; aDescriptor.ParentIndex = 1; aDescriptor.Parent = (com.sun.star.awt.XWindowPeer) UnoRuntime .queryInterface(com.sun.star.awt.XWindowPeer.class, frame .getContainerWindow()); // create the info box window com.sun.star.awt.XWindowPeer xPeer = xKit.createWindow(aDescriptor); com.sun.star.awt.XMessageBox xInfoBox = (com.sun.star.awt.XMessageBox) UnoRuntime .queryInterface(com.sun.star.awt.XMessageBox.class, xPeer); if (xInfoBox == null) return null; // fill it with all given informations and show it xInfoBox.setCaptionText(sTitle); xInfoBox.setMessageText(sMessage); xInfoBox.execute(); any ideas? A particular API for modality would be fine! best regards, Christoph --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
