Creating a custom modal dialog for a Swing applet / application

Question

I\'m writing a Swing application that needs to function either as an applet in a browser or as a standalone application, i.e. it may be contained in either a JFrame or a JApplet

Answer 1

Here interesting method for showing frames as modal to specified owner is described: Show the given frame as modal to the specified owner

However, start() method of class EventPump should be modified in such way:

protected void start() throws Exception
{
    Class cl = Class.forName("java.awt.Conditional");
    Object conditional = Proxy.newProxyInstance(cl.getClassLoader(), new Class[] { cl }, this);

    ThreadGroup threadGroup = Thread.currentThread().getThreadGroup();
    String name = Thread.currentThread().getName();
    EventQueue eventQueue = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemEventQueue();

    Constructor constructor = Class.forName("java.awt.EventDispatchThread").
            getDeclaredConstructor(ThreadGroup.class, name.getClass(), eventQueue.getClass());
    constructor.setAccessible(true);
    Object eventDispatchThread = constructor.newInstance(threadGroup, name, eventQueue);

    Method pumpMethod = eventDispatchThread.getClass().getDeclaredMethod("pumpEvents", cl);
    pumpMethod.setAccessible(true);
    pumpMethod.invoke(eventDispatchThread, conditional);
}
