Question

I have a piece of code in my program where in I need to display an error message. Code:

String ErrorMsg=" Error to be Diplayed ";
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, ErrorMsg, "Failure", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);

Note: Default frame is used.

The message is successfully displayed, but before acknowledging by pressing “OK” button if I try any other successful flow the message box control is lost and message box won’t be on foreground blocking even the successive flows.

I want the Message Box to be on the foreground always until the user presses “OK” button, rather losing focus and getting hidden. How to do that?

Answer 1

The below code is enough to make a JoptionPane message with default frame to be set on top .

        JDialog dialog = new JOptionPane("ErrorMsg",JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE,JOptionPane.DEFAULT_OPTION).createDialog(" Failure"); 
        dialog.setAlwaysOnTop(true);
        dialog.setVisible(true);
        dialog.dispose();
