Dialogs are intended to be temporary windows. They present specific timely information to the user, or they allow the user to specify options for the current operation.

The AWT sends the dialog window all mouse, keyboard, and focus events that occur over it.

By default, the dialog window is invisible. The application must use the show method (II-§1.10.70) to cause the dialog window to appear.

The default layout for a dialog is BorderLayout.

Creates a dialog window that is initially invisible. If the modal flag is true, the dialog window grabs all input from the user.

The parent argument is the main application window.

Parameters:

parent - the owner of the dialog

modal - if true, the dialog box blocks input to other windows while it is visible

Creates a titled dialog window that is initially invisible. If the modal flag is true, then the dialog box grabs all input from the user.

The parent argument is the main application window.

Parameters:

parent - the owner of the dialog

title - the title of the dialog

modal - if true, dialog blocks input to other windows when shown

This method calls the createDialog method (II-§1.41.8) of this object's toolkit (II-§1.10.20) in order to create a DialogPeer (II-§3.8) for this dialog window. This peer allows the application to change the look of a dialog window without changing its functionality.

Most applications do not call this method directly.
