Thread Problem

[zhein04]

Here is the code that i am currently working. The problem is when i start the thread and then the showmessage appears. THe next message wont appear. The thread stops whenever the message appear. is there a way that the message will stack up without closing the first message first?



public Thread stream = new Thread(){
// This method is called when the thread runs
@Override
public void run() {
while (true) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Number: "+ ctr);
ctr++;
try {
stream.sleep(1000);
} catch (InterruptedException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(Main_Menu.class.getName()).log(Le vel.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
}
}
};// end thread

JOptionPane is modal. What that means is that it locks up the AWT thread until the user makes a selection ("ok", "cancel", etc.). If you want an joptionpane equivalent that does not block the AWT thread, you have to write one yourself and you have to be very careful, because swing is not thread safe.

how can i do that?

when i try creating a Jframe. ang applying the code. the jframes wont stack up it just changes the text inside of it.
