Modal dialog is hidden by parent Frame component

[Bjoern Obermeyer]

Hi,
I am writing an application with a JFrame as the main window and
several dialogs to gain user input. The problem arises when another
window (from a differnent apllication) hides my applications window
(while one of the (modal) dialogs is currently showing). When my
applications window reappears again the dialog is no longer showing. I
have to iconify the other applications window in order to make the
dialog reappear again.

What do I have to do tell Java that I want my dialog to be visible
after the application becomes visible again?

Thanks in advance for yout help.

hi,
I pass the JFrame object into the dialogs to solve it, like

public class MyDialog extends JDialog {

public MyDialog(Frame parent, boolean modal, .....) {

super(parent, modal);
.......
}

.........
}

and,
.....
JFrame frame = ........
.....
MyDialog md = new MyDialog(frame, true, .......);
md.show();

try it and good luck.
