Like a modal dialog over a JFrame?

previously i tried JInterFrame but it was not working out since the components on the JFrame were working...i want to open a window so that the JFrame is not clickable...
more over the problem i was facing was something like this

JInternalFrame a---> button1----> another JInternalFrame b---->button2--->a

now clicking the button1 again which should show b but it results in an error

is there any way to resolve this error if i go through JInternalFrame or is there any other way

What I am asking is: Do you want Frame1 to be like a frame that has opened a modal dialog? Ie Nothing can be done with Frame1 until the modal dialog is closed?

So Norm's given you the answer: don't use a second JFrame but rather a JDialog that has its modal property set to true. Using a JDialog is similar to using a JFrame but there are some differences especially in constructor calls. Have a look at the JDialog API, and you'll see how to use it.
