question about JDialog

[frag]

Hi!

I am using a modal JDialog in an application (login dialog). It's called in a JFrame and is the first thing that you will see after starting the application. My problem is that there is no symbol/button for this dialog in the Windows taskbar... if the JDialog is closed there is a symbol/button for the application in the taskbar. Is there a way to get this for a JDialog as well? If not then it would be ok to force the JDialog to be in top of all other applications... but I don't know how to solve this as well... :-(

Any help appreciated

cheers

The only way I've found around this problem is to use another JFrame rather than using a JDialog. This will put an entry on the taskbar.

Hmmm... I could have guessed that. But can a JFrame be modular (that means I can only continue if the dialog was processed)? Or is there a way to bring the JDialog on top of all other windows/applications? This would help a lot.

No, I haven't found a way to make a JFrame modal. And I also haven't found a way to keep a JDialog on top, either. But at least if the dialog is a JFrame, you have something on the taskbar to click on if it gets hidden.

Ok thank you anyway...
