Question : Dialog.ModalityType.APPLICATION_MODAL

I have a JTable which contains cells that when clicked bring up a dialog box.
I have this dialog box set to be a modal dialog box.
I want it to be so that only 1 dialog box at a time is displayed, ie if the user clicks on the cell in row 0, the dialog comes up but then when the cell in row 1 is clicked, nothing should happen.
However, clicking on cell 1 brings up another dialog. So this seems to be an issue of the scope of the modality.
So I do this:

1: 2:

this.setModal(true); this.setModalityType(Dialog.ModalityType.APPLICATION_MODAL);

"this" is the abstract class extending JDialog from which the instantiated dialog originates.

I was thinking that setting the modality to APPLICATION_MODAL would address the problem, but it does not.
What do I need to do?

     

Answer : Dialog.ModalityType.APPLICATION_MODAL

For a diaplog to be model , it needs to be modal to something. In your case it sounds like it is your table so try the follwoing

dialog = new JDialog(SwingUtilities.getWindowAncestor(table));
