Wait for JFrame dispose
I was wondering it there was a way to pause the execution of code until a frame (say, a popup window) is closed.
NewStudent std =new NewStudent(className);
std.init();
//Something to stop the execution of the below code until the window is disposed
refreshTabs("info");
refreshTabs("tests");
refreshTabs("quizzes");
refreshTabs("hw");
Basically, std.init() opens up the window, then you click finish or cancel (either way, the window is disposed) then I want the code to contine.
I hope this all makes sense. Thanks for the help.

Check out my ParamDialog class. It is built to do just what you're talking about.
BTW if you need StandardDialog, its parent class and also a useful class in itself search this site
You are welcome to use and modify this code but please do not change the package name or take credit for it as your own work.
