dialog.show is depreciated; what replaced it? 1

[Miros]

I have a cancel dialog that only displays when a thread is running. Apparently the JDialog.show() method is depreciated. What do I use in place of it? setVisible doesn't work...

    public void threadwrapper( )
    {
		Object[] options = { "Cancel" } ;
    	JOptionPane optionPane = new JOptionPane(
		    "Long time consuming operation in process.",
			JOptionPane.DEFAULT_OPTION,
		    JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE,
		    null,     
		    options,  
		    options[0] ) ; 
		final JDialog dialog = optionPane.createDialog( textfield, 
			"Please wait" );
		
		setCancel( false ) ;
		    
		final SwingWorker worker = new SwingWorker() 
		{
	
	        public Object construct() 
	        {
	        	longtimeconsumingprocess( ) ;
	        	dialog.setVisible( false ) ;
				return null ;
		
	        }
	
	        //Runs on the event-dispatching thread.
	        public void finished() 
	        {
	        }
	    };
	    
	    worker.start() ; 
	    dialog.show() ; <=== this is the line it doesn't like
	    setCancel( true ) ;

    }

setCancel just sets a boolean which is checked periodically by longtimeconsumingprocess() to see if the user clicked the cancel button.

The JDK1.5 apidocs state that setVisible(boolean) should be used instead. Make sure your calling this method on the Gui Event Dispatch Thread, though.

Thanks, will try this yet again, now that the rest of the code is working.
