I really tried down by Java lack of Window management...

I am trying to make a dialog stack on top of other Dialog even if it has no
focus but in vain...

1) I have a form (Frame )which let other enter information. A button on the
form when clicked will trigger a Dialog form to enter specific information.
That dialogA form in turn has a button which trigger another dialogB form.
Now comes the problem, the last dialog form is a non modal dialog form which
always stay on top of its parent dialogA. Its purpose is to show
information. However, Java does not allow dialogB to stay on top of dialogA
when dialogA received focus.

Is there any way, to make the non modal dialogB on top of dialogA when
dialogA has form focus ???
thank
