Java Swing - Make a window like JOptionPane

I've been creating GUIs using Jigloo for a game and I've run into a problem.

  1. I would like one of my GUIs to have some properties that the JOptionPane has but I don't know how to describe it properly.
  2. The JOptionPane, when open, doesn't allow a user to access the other open windows. It gives a ping sound and flash the JOptionPane window.
  3. Is there a name for that? Also can I put that onto one of my GUI windows?

Thanks in advance

Solution

  • The JOptionPane uses a modal dialog. See How to Use Modality in Dialogs for details.
