Message box at front of screen

[adrianjohnson]

How do I make a message box (sorry, JOptionPane) display at the front of the screen in an app? At the moment when it displays, it hides behind all the other open windows.

Thanks,

So the user doesn't have to minimise other screens in order to see it.

i also ran into this problem, i think i solved it by attaching the JOptionPane to another component such as a JFrame

Ah - my question was:
Why does it show up in the background?
My JOptionPanes show up in the front.

Maybe Adrian means 'how do I make it appear in front of ALL running apps'?

Post the code you are currently using to show the JoptionPane - new2this2002 I think was on the right track - I normally use

showDialog(this.getContentPane, "Hello"), which shows it at the front

"this" is the JFrame that the JOptionPane is being shown from
