disable access to first window while accessing second window

hi,

Im using netbeans 5.5 with JDK 6u1.

I have a swing application where, when I click on "new" on main window another window pops up to enter the values. when this happens I need to disable access to the first main window while the second one(popped up window) is still active. how do I do this...

p.s - I dont want to dispose or hide the first window I just need to disallow access while the second is active & allow access when the second one is either closed or pressed "ok".

Thanks

Cheers

aha,

Sorry I misunderstood... :)

It works fine. thanks alot.

but some other things to ask. I have this new jDialog in a new package (which is not in the one that main jFrame is in). It seems I have to make a new jFrame in this new package & then add jDialog to it.

So if that is also done. How do I dispose both this new jFrame & new jDialog using a button on a jDialog.

Hope its clear.
