public void show()

Shows the dialog. This will bring the dialog to the front if the dialog is already visible. If the dialog is modal, this call will block input to the parent window until the dialog is taken down by calling hide or dispose. It is permissible to show modal dialogs from the event dispatching thread because the toolkit will ensure that another dispatching thread will run while the one which invoked show is blocked.

Overrides:

show in class Window

JDK1.0

hide
