I apologize if this is in the FAQ, but I am unable to currently access it, so I seek the wisdom of the list... I have been having trouble with modal dialogs in Swing. In particular, the parent window is allowed to get focus after it has popped up a modal dialog. I would like the behavior of standard Windows apps whereby clicking on the parent window brings focus to the dialog. I am using JDK 1.1.7 v3 with (I believe) swing 1.1. If this is expected behavior, how have people worked around it in a platform independent manner? Thanks Jim FWIW - behavior of dialogs under Windows is not much better - it won't give focus to the parent, but it doesn't focus the dialog either. -- ===================================================================== Jim Kimball [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
