- Enclosing class:
- Dialog
public static enum Dialog.ModalityType extends Enum<Dialog.ModalityType>
Modal dialogs block all input to some top-level windows.
Whether a particular window is blocked depends on dialog's type
of modality; this is called the "scope of blocking". The
ModalityType
enum specifies modal types and their
associated scopes.-

DOCUMENT_MODAL
ADOCUMENT_MODAL
dialog blocks input to all top-level windows from the same document except those from its own child hierarchy. A document is a top-level window without an owner. It may contain child windows that, together with the top-level window are treated as a single solid document. Since every top-level window must belong to some document, its root can be found as the top-nearest window without an owner. -
APPLICATION_MODAL
AnAPPLICATION_MODAL
dialog blocks all top-level windows from the same Java application except those from its own child hierarchy. If there are several applets launched in a browser, they can be treated either as separate applications or a single one. This behavior is implementation-dependent. -
TOOLKIT_MODAL
ATOOLKIT_MODAL
dialog blocks all top-level windows run from the same toolkit except those from its own child hierarchy. If there are several applets launched in a browser, all of them run with the same toolkit; thus, a toolkit-modal dialog displayed by an applet may affect other applets and all windows of the browser instance which embeds the Java runtime environment for this toolkit. SpecialAWTPermission
"toolkitModality" must be granted to use toolkit-modal dialogs. If aTOOLKIT_MODAL
dialog is being created and this permission is not granted, aSecurityException
will be thrown, and no dialog will be created. If a modality type is being changed toTOOLKIT_MODAL
and this permission is not granted, aSecurityException
will be thrown, and the modality type will be left unchanged.
