modal in jdk1.3 & Win2000

Hi,
I had posted this question earlier..Im using JDK 1.3 & Im trying to make a JOptionPane modal by extending JDialog, it was shown as modal in JDK 1.2 , but the moment I tested in JDK 1.3 it doesnt show as modal, any ideas?
here's my code..
private int showDialog(JOptionPane pane , String title)
{
JDialog dialog = pane.createDialog(japplet, title);
dialog.setModal(true);
dialog.setResizable(false);
dialog.show();
......
}// EOF showDialog()
I received this response "JOptionPane has built-in methods to handle this. Have you tried using JOptionPane.showMessageDialog()? Dialogs built in this way are modal by default."

But it still doesnt remain modal in JDK1.3 & on a Win2000 machine..so any suggestions?

Hi,
The reply given to u is perfect cause it works for me. The code below is the one i have used and it is modal by default. I have not set it explicitly and i use jdk1.3.
JOptionPane noserver=new JOptionPane();
noserver.setFont(new Font("Serif", Font.BOLD, 14));
noserver.showMessageDialog(null,"Server not Available.","",noserver.ERROR_MESSAGE);
System.exit(0);
why don't u install jdk1.3 again.
Good luck,

Hello Preethi,
I tried ur piece of code & still it doesnt remain modal, i can still open multiple windows..here is the code..any ideas?
public class ModalTest extends JApplet implements ActionListener
{
public JPanel mainPanel;
public boolean dialogActive = false;
public void init()
{
mainPanel = new JPanel();
JButton dialogB = new JButton("Dialog");
mainPanel.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
mainPanel.add(dialogB);
dialogB.addActionListener(this);
getContentPane().add(mainPanel);

}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ev)
{
showDialog(mainPanel,"Add New");

}

private void showDialog(Component panel , String title)
{
JOptionPane pane = new JOptionPane();

pane.showMessageDialog(null,"Server not Available.","",pane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
}// EOF method showDialog(Component,String)
}//eof class ModalTest{}
