[SOLVED] Application should wait until a Dialog closes

[hannehomuth]

Hi Forum,

I have such a silly question, and I think it will be documented anywhere but I did not find anything. I have a JDialog class and I want that my application should wait to execute until this Dialog closes or set any variable to true. I think this is not so hard but I can't get along with that. Here Some Code

Code:

public class ConfigurationEditView extends javax.swing.JDialog{

...
...
...

 public ConfigurationEditView(boolean first) {
        super(new JFrame(), false);
        initComponents();

    }


 public static void showDialog() {

        Runnable view = new Runnable() {

            public void run() {
                ConfigurationEditView cfgView = new ConfigurationEditView(true);
                cfgView.setVisible(true);
                cfgView.toFront();
            }
        };
        
        Thread nThread = new Thread(view);
        nThread.start();
        //SwingUtilities.invokeLater(view);
    }

...
...
...
}

And here the call

Code:

ConfigurationEditView.showDialog();

Can somebody give me a good example that my application (GUI App) not go on until the call
ConfigurationEditView.showDialog();
has returned.

I've tried with a boolean variable in a while loop but that also did'nt work.

Thx for suggestions

Code:

public static void showDialog() {
    cfgView = new ConfigurationEditView(true);
    cfgView.setModal(true);
    cfgView.setVisible(true);
    System.out.println("Will not display until dialog closed");
}
