Does anyone know how to create a modal dialog box in Java Swing that is always on top of other components (i.e., can't be hidden by the other components until the user closes it)? thanks

You mean like look at the API and use the constuctor with the modal flag.

Hi When u create a modal dialog, it is always on the top of the application until it is closed. JDialog(Dialog owner, boolean modal) set modal as true.

IMO that is bad user design. As a user I don't ever want someone locking up all of my other applications by having another modal application. If a user wants to switch, why should you prevent them?

that is my client's requirement. This dialog pops up from a crm console,whenever there is some user activity(email,chat request,etc).As these needs to be answered immdly,the dialog should be on top of all apps to get the console owner's attention
