Hi, I've just tried to make a JDialog blocking the current Thread until the dialog is closed (as written in the API-Documentation). When using myDialog = MyJDialog(myFrame); myDialog.setModal(true); myDialog.show(); the dialog doesn't block. Then I read about removing setModal(true) in the listarchiv. After this change the dialog kept open but show() didn't block. I was able to solve this Problem in using myDialog = MyJDialog(myFrame, true); myDialog.show(); Win32 had no problems at all. Is this Linux specific? so long --- Alexander Sparkowsky, Berlin, Germany [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
