how to set modal to JFrame

[newbiejava]

I have JFrame and needs to be set modal ..
my below codes already made jf as modal .. but jf doesnot have contents of FrmSerial..

what I missed?

JFrame jf = new FrmSerial();
JDialog jd = new JDialog(jf);
jd.setModal(true);
jd.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.HIDE_ON_CLOSE);
jd.setLocationByPlatform(false);
jd.setLocation(location);
jd.pack();
jd.setVisible(true);

You can't set a JFrame to modal, at least not as smoothly as a JDialog which was built for this. Just use a JDialog instead.

By reading the tutorial: How to Make Dialogs (The Java™ Tutorials > Creating a GUI With JFC/Swing > Using Swing Components)

and the JDialog API: (I"ll let you look it up).

Word of advice: It's fine to use NetBeans as an IDE, but don't use NetBeans for Swing code generation, not unless you want to not learn how to code in Swing.

hi. thanks for the clue, I tried it .. but I need to show dialog with some labels:

ie.
COM Port
Speed
Parity
Databit
Stopbit

I am using below codes, but I only able to show label "COM Port" and I dont know how to display another labels and their combo boxes.. as newbie ..I really need your advise

thanks and regards

Object[] com = {"Select COM","COM1", "COM2", "COM3"};
Object[] speed = {"Select Speed","1200","2400","4800"};
Object[] parity = {"Select Parity","None","Even","Mark"}
Object[] databit = {"Select Databit","8","7"}
Object[] stopbit = {"Select Databit","1","2"}
String s = (String)JOptionPane.showInputDialog(
this,
"COM Port:",
"Serial COM Setup Dialog",
JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE,
null,
com,
"Select COM");

Two choices and both involve creating a JPanel with all your labels and what nots. Then you can display the JPanel in the JOptionPane similar to what you have right above, or you can put the JPanel into a JDialog, similar to how you'd put a JPanel into a JFrame -- but with a different constructor. The API will give you the legal JDialog constructors.

Please don't forget code tags when posting code here.

still not working.. what I missed?

PnlSerial pnlSerial = new PnlSerial();
JDialog jd = new JDialog();
jd.add(pnlSerial);
jd.setModal(true);
jd.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.HIDE_ON_CLOSE);
jd.setLocationByPlatform(false);
jd.pack();
jd.setVisible(true);

Did you open that link and read the text that appears on the opened page?
