a Dialog in an Applet

[Sedai]

I wanted to create a small modal window
and found out about the Dialog class.

However, I need to call the dialog from within an applet.
Is that possible - I kept getting some errors.

Actually what I need to do this is check the input a user has typed into a TextField, and if it's invalid some kind
of a warning should pop-up.

Any suggestions? Avendeval

If the applets imbedded in a browser I'm pretty sure (like 99.99%) you won't be able to popup a Dialogue window on the PC - unless there is some really fancy trick I'm not aware of. Think about it - you are confined to the browser when running an applet right ?

What I would suggest instead is to have status bar on the bottom of your applet and convey messages to the user that way. RjB.

Yeah, that's exactly what my logic was - but then I remembered Yahoo! chat (well, I don't know if u go there )
and ther DO have such small pop-up boxes, which are not modal, but still work.
But I guess I will stick with the status bar.
Thanks!
