Odds things happenning in JDialog

[JimFromTN]

I have one dialog in one package calling another dialog in a different package. The text fields in the dialoge being called are locked out in that I can place the cursor in them but I can't type anything in them. The JComboboxes work fine. If I put them in the same package, everything works fine.

How are you calling the dialogs?

I found some bug reports that sound kind of like the problem I am having. If it is, it looks like it is fixed in jdk 1.6. Unfortunately, I am restricted to 1.5.

Anyhow, I have an applet that creates a dialog using the following code.

JDialog newdlg1 = new javax.swing.JDialog(frame, true);
newdlg1.setSize(500, 500);
newdlg1.setLocation(150, 150);
newdlg1.setTitle("Dialog 1 Title");
newdlg1.getContentPane().setLayout(new java.awt.BorderLayout());
NewPanelForDialog1 newPnl = new NewPanelForDialog1 ();
newdlg1 .getContentPane().add(newPnl, java.awt.BorderLayout.CENTER);
newdlg1 .setVisible(true);

Both the calling applet and NewPanelForDialog1 are in the same package.

To bring up the second modal dialog, I do the following


JDialog newdlg2 = new javax.swing.JDialog(frame, true);
newdlg2.setSize(500, 500);
newdlg2.setLocation(150, 150);
newdlg2.setTitle("Dialog 1 Title");
newdlg2.getContentPane().setLayout(new java.awt.BorderLayout());
NewPanelForDialog2 newPnl2 = new NewPanelForDialog1 ();
newdlg2.getContentPane().add(newPnl2, java.awt.BorderLayout.CENTER);
newdlg2.setVisible(true);

Where NewPanelForDialog2 is in a different package.

Why are you restricted to 1.5 if 1.6 appears to fix your problem?

Because the tomcat server has to be able to be run on an as400 and it can only handle 1.5. IBM is always behind.
