Non-modal Dialog doesn't respond to mouse clicks

Hi,

I'm a new SWING developer.

I open in my application a Dialog which is MODAL(lets call it D1). I
use for that: setVisible( true );

>From D1 dialog I open another Dialog (D2) that has to be NON-MODAL.

The problem is that D2 doesn't respond to mouse clicks as long as D1 is
open.
If I start the D1 as a NON-MODAL dialog, then D2 does respond to
mouse-clicks.

Why does it happen?
How can I fix it leaving the D1 as MODAL dialog?

Thanks in advance for your replies!

Yulia

Do they both have the same parent? (Frame)

Swing is not an acronym, just a (silly) word.

Why? What is the point or advantage to being
able to access dialog 1* when dialog 2 is open?

* Given dialog 1 is modal, it is the only thing you
will be able to access from you non-modal dialog 2.

To make it working second dialog (D2) has to have
D1 as parent, not parent frame.

Hi All,

You are absolutely right! If the parent of D2 is D1 the problem is
solved!

Thanks you all very much!
