JDialog : Java Glossary

*0-9ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ (all)

JDialog
JDialogs are a type of Window that pop up over a parent JFrame, usually to ask the user to confirm something or display an About box. JDialogs can be modal or non-modal. Modal JDialogs monopolise the user’s attention, preventing him from clicking anywhere but in the jdialog box.

For simple questions, you can use JOptionPane.showInputDialog which comes in two versions, one that just prompts for a String and one that selects an item from a list.

Dialog is the AWT (Advanced Windowing Toolkit) equivalent of JDialog.
