How to show JDialog is a JFrame ?

[xuanhung123]

Hello everybody ! I'm a newbie.

I have a problem.I have the child JFrame and the parent JFrame. How to show the child JFrame as a JDialog from the parent JFrame. I can't use setVisible() method because I will still operate in the parent JFrame. Thanks for advance.

You'll need to re-write your code so that the child window is a JDialog not a JFrame.

But I use Netbeans GDE to my application. I create a new JFrame then I can't re-write code to a JDialog.

Can't write code. Ho....
It's simple close netbeans, open your file in notepad and edit there just what you want. :cool:

Oh yeah,
you can also do this,

public class ChildFrame extends JDialog{
  public ChildFrame(JFrame frame){....
// -- code here
}

public static void main(String[] args){
    try{
      ChildFrame frame = new ChildFrame(new JFrame());
     //...................
}
}

Then your JDialog needs to be "non modal". Read the JDialog API for the method to do this.
