public class ModalDialog
extends javax.swing.JDialog

Class for modal dialogs with ok and cancel buttons.

This is a try for a better design approach to modal dialogs than offered in the java development kit:
The service of a modal dialog that offers cancel and ok is separated from the retrieval of data of such a dialog. The component that queries the data from this service is freely choosable. It may be passed to the contstructor and will be returned from showDialog(). The client code then is sure that the modal dialog has been confirmed by the human interactor and may query this component for input: it knows about the component that was used to query inputs.

However for easy String prompts you should prefer: JOptionPane.showInputDialog(Object).
