why no default close button in JDialog

Hi,

I create a JDialog passing in an existing parent JFrame at its constructor. However,

1) my dialog has no default close button like a frame has
2) when my dialog starts up, it does not show up in Task bar as a frame would.

How could I make them happen?
Thanks.

Use a JFrame instead ?

Hellow Yan,

you could still use your JDialog, but you need use Windows Looking and Feel instead. The following code works.

----------------------
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class TestDialog
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
JDialog.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
try
{
UIManager.setLookAndFeel("com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
System.out.println("Failed loading L&F: ");
System.out.println(ex);
}

final JFrame w = new JFrame("Owner Window");
JButton btn = new JButton("Show Dialog");
btn.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
JDialog d = new JDialog(w);
d.setSize(200,100);
d.setVisible(true);
}});
JPanel p = new JPanel();
p.add(btn);
w.getContentPane().add(p);
w.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
w.setSize(500,360);
w.setLocation(100,36);
w.setVisible(true);
}

}
