Hello,

Im a newbie to the JBuilder environment (it's great!) as well as to Swing,
so this may be a dumb question.

I have created a Frame that allows field editing and it works well. I have
placed a button on the form that, when clicked, should pop up what I believe
should be a Dialog(or should it be a new frame?) which allows the entry of
several fields of data. I have several questions on how to accomplish this:
1) How do I layout my dialog in the environment? The dialog option seems
always to be grayed out. Do I create a new frame,panel, etc. and stuff to it
or what? (Sorry for the vagueness - Im just not clear on this).
2) I am currently believing that the environment doesn't let you "attach"
Dialogs to buttons, so I figure I will need to add code in the Button click
event to construct and show the dialog. Is this correct?
3) What is a clean, accepted method of communicating the collected data back
to the main frame?

thanks a lot in advance,
tom dorgan.
