How do I keep a dialog box always on top?

Question

I created a dialog box like this:

String response = 
JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null,"message","title",JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);

I'd like to keep it always on top of all windows.

Do you have any idea?

Thanks!

Answer 1

In fact, using Java, having a system modal dialog is not possible. The best you can have is a toolkit modal option pane. That's to say an option pane that stay in front of all Java windows.

This example explains how Java6 allows you to do that.

Maybe I don't get the question, but I quickly created desktop app with code you posted and it actually is modal ...
