Why Joptionpan does not show on TOP

[sezanawa]

Hi Guys,

I have a problem with JOptionpan. I m using JOption pane for showing messages or even Exceptions etc. But it does not poped up on TOP.

Its always behind parent windows.

I think i need to specifiy JOptionpane to display on TOP of all windows or dialogs. But how should i do? i really dont know. Can any one tell me how it works. I past my code below.

[HTML]
import java.io.Filenam eFilter;

import javax.swing.JFr ame;
import javax.swing.JOp tionPane;

public class MessageBox extends JFrame{

private static final long serialVersionUI D = 1L;


public static void ShowMessage(Str ing message, String title,int MessageType){

JOptionPane.sho wMessageDialog( null, message, title, MessageType);

}

public static String ShowInputDialog (String message, String title,int MessageType){


return JOptionPane.sho wInputDialog(nu ll,message,titl e,MessageType);
}


}
[/HTML]

I worte this class and always use static methods of this class where ever i need to show a message or exception.

What should i do to show it always on TOP.

It would be much easier if some one send working example.

Thanks in advance

You should pass your JOptionPane a parent, not null, if you want it to be in front
of that parent.

You keep on talking about displaying that option pane 'on top'; on top of what?
The parameter I was talking about is the thing on top of which the option pane
should be displayed; iow, the parameter should be a non null JDialog or JFrame.
