I am using netbeans IDE to create a JFrame class and using the visual
editor
to create a rich dialog. I want to then use this dialog as a modal
dialog
when the user clicks on 'options' in the main applications menu.
Reading around the web, it seems that it is not possible to use a
JFrame as
a modal dialog but the use of JDialog seems to limit the richness of
the
dialog.
Am I missing something obvious? Surely the display of a complex options

dialog box is a common requirement and handled in many Java
applications.
