Stop action event in JDialog

[eleda]

Hello,

I have a poblem with stoppping an action event in a JDialog. The dialog has a panel and the panel has two buttons. When the first button is clicked and an event was performed, I want to cancel the event of that button by pressing the second button. The problem is I cannot clicked the second button while the event of the pressed first button is still occuring.

Can somebody explain why.

Thanks!

You have to create a new thread in the listener method. If not, you are blocking the EDT (event dispatch thread).
Now, you can easily stopping the event by stopping the thread in listener two :)
