🚀 go-pugleaf

Heres an example
Dialog window = new Dialog (this ,"",true);
 window.label1.setText("Add a New User");
 window.pack();
 Dimension d = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
 window.setLocation((d.width - window.getSize().width) / 2,
(d.height - window.getSize().height) / 2);
 window.setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.HAND_CURSOR));
 window.show();
 String info = "";


if (window.doIt){
 info =  window.textField1.getText();
 }

This shows a few things and until you lose the refeance to window you
still have access to the public components and variables in window
This examlple uses the current frame as the base but you could use
Conrad new Frame
the issue is focus and scope

also in the dialog close button or however  ok sets doIt to true
cancel sets it to false both buttons then call dispose()

Hope this is clear enough
