I want to understand how java.awt.Dialog achieves modality (blocking other windows)?
Yeah, I tried reading the code of java.awt.Dialog, but I am kind of getting lost in it. So I want to know briefly what they do. Do they disable all events of all other windows?
Thanks
Prem
Its system dependent. On windows the main event loop is modified. You are most of the time better off opening a dialog non-modal and lock the underlying window manually (e.g. set a glasspane to the rootpane and disable it, or block all events setting a custom focus manager).
