setVisible???

[J Hartley]

Hi I have a little problem..
I create a new dialog with
dialog = new bookDialog
dialog.pack();
the user presses the book button which does the following...
dialog.setVisible(true);
to close this dialog i then call
dialog.setVisible(false);

Alls Fine. But next time i call dialog.setVisible(true); my dialog flashes on the screen for a second and then minimizes itself!!
Can Anyone Help?
cheers

Hi Joe,
Try to prepare ur dialog as Model. You may get whatever you want.

Hi Joe,
Prepare ur dialog as model dialog. See the API for JDialog constructers.

Bye

You could try using Dialog.show();
when the event to make your dialog visisble is fired.
When you want your dialog to close you could use Dialog.dispose();

Hi, I have my dialogs as Modal. The dispose() method works fine . Thanks for all your help.
