Hi,

I've got two windows, A & B. When A is active (i.e. is at Front), I want B
to be at second Front. How do I do this? How can I modify the windows stack
ordering?

Cheers,
Rach.

You have 2 possibilities:

B is Frame or JFrame, A is JDialog or JWindow. B is owner of A (see javadoc
for constructor of JDialog/JWindow)

or

A and B are JWindow. B is owner of A.

A stays always in front of B (even if you selects B)

You can achieve that by making B a Dialog..

And of course, by saying B, I meant _A_.

Just checking you were paying attention. ;-)
