Stop!!!

don't do that!!

sometimes i make exactly the same ... and get a big problem.
if the dialog allways come to front if it's not longer there (by using a
listener)
it will also come to front if you will start any other application.
thats not the same like a normal modal dialog in an java-Application (or any
other language).
there the dialog will only be in front of your application.

if you then open a second dialog of this kind (by not using modal) they will
start switching
because every of them want to be in front.... by using windows nt ther will
be no chance
to stop them, because you can not reach the buttons at the taskmanager....
there will be one
of your dialogs in front!

i think there will be no well solution for your problem because of the
java-sandbox.
it will be a security problem if you get controll of the browser (to make it
deactive...for modal).
thats the reason modal will not work in applets!

the solution i use:
1. using a frame instead of a dialog -->now you will have a button in the
taskbar, so that the user can bring the
dialog back to front
2. myApplet.setEditable(false) --> input to the applet is not longer
possible

it's also not a perfect solution ... but maybe one of the best workarounds
???

if anyone has an better or other way to do that ... i like to hear of it!
