re:Jframe focus

[usha]

i have associated a java program with a word macro. once the macro is started,
a jframe pops up and
i want the user to type some data into the jframe. either the user types
data or he closes the window.
so the focus should not shift from the jframe whatever the user does. any
suggestions of how can i do this
thanks

You want your Java program to prevent the Windows user from switching away
from it to other Windows applications? This is called "system modal" in
Windows-speak. I believe that Windows NT does not permit this at all. And
in Windows 95/98, it's barely possible for an experienced systems programmer
(read: C++).

At any rate, what you're asking for is completely opposed to how Windows
works.

i used window listener on windowDeactivated to bring the frame toFront(),
which solved my problem. it worked on windows 95. i have to test it on nt
