Dialog Owner

[kohinoor2007]

Hi all,

Iam developing an applet ...

My applet is derived from the Swing JApplet.

Iam creating a custom dialog as follows from within my applet.

public class MyDialog extends JDialog
{

public MyDialog(JDialog owner,String title,boolean modal){

super(owner,title,modal);


}
}

Now my question is,what should I pass as 1st parameter to the MyDialog Constructor...

From Applet,I call somethings as

MyDialog test = new MyDialog((JDialog)getParent(),"test",true);

But casting to "JDialog" fails....

What is the best way to do the casting....

I want this dialog to be visible in the centre of my applet.....

Thanks in advance.....

Why are you overriding JDialog? Isn't enough a regular JDialog? What is getParent() referred to? Can't you just use the JApplet's frame?

getParent"is a JApplet member function which returns a type Container.

Okay,JDialogs constructor either takes a JDialog or JFrame as owner parameter.

Does the "JApplet's frame"return a JFrame.How will I get it from the JApplet.Is there any member function in JApplet for that....
