Should swing JFrame - I use threads or JDialogBox (or both!)?

Hello

I create a game in which several pieces may be on a site, and when you click on this square, I want a pop up window and allow the user to select from a list of parts.
The list of the selected pieces would return to the main program when the window is closed. When the window is opened, I would like to suspend the execution of the program.


So, copy the following code essentially illustrates the basics of my dilemma.
public class JBegin {
     public static void main(String[] args){
          customFrame newFrame= new customFrame(0);
     }
}
(code}
to import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;
java.awt.event.MouseListener import;

to import javax.swing.JFrame;


public class customFrame extends JFrame implements {MouseListener
int x = 0, y = 2, z;
public customFrame (int layer) {}
z = + 1 layer.
addMouseListener (this);
this.setDefaultCloseOperation (JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
this.setVisible (true);
this.setSize (New Dimension (1000, 1000));
}
@Override
{} public void mouseClicked (MouseEvent arg0)
TODO self-generating method stub
subset of customFrame = new customFrame (z);
freeze the previous window
wait customFrame close
get the values of subset.
x = y * 2 + z;
}

@Override
{} public void mouseEntered (MouseEvent arg0)
TODO self-generating method stub

}

@Override
{} public void mouseExited (MouseEvent arg0)
TODO self-generating method stub

}

@Override
{} public void mousePressed (MouseEvent arg0)
TODO self-generating method stub

}

@Override
{} public void mouseReleased (MouseEvent arg0)
TODO self-generating method stub

}

}
In the customFrame class, after the mouse button has been clicked, I want the code to wait for the new customFrame window to be closed before evaluating the equation.

I've done some reading, and I've heard that JDialog will accomplish most things a JFrame will (Though I haven't been able to find any tutorials on how to paint in JDialog).  I also may be hesitant because I have some classes which are configured wonderfully for a JFrame.

In any case, would threads or a JDialog box be a more appropriate way to solve this problem?  And if it is the JDialog option, do you know of a good JDialog painting tutorial (as, obviously, I've been having trouble finding one)?

Thus, it seems that JDialog is not slow down the progression of the code.

Yes, he does, that's why I suggested it. Of course he could help if I spelled "modal" OK, if you could watch the API to see what method you use to define a modal dialog box.

You can also use a JOptionPane, which simply creates a JDialog formatted for you.

The choice is yours.
