I have some problem with JDialog. I have Swing GUI created in NetBeans. GUI contains main frame with buttons, text fields, etc. When I click 'Next' button then JDialog (created aslo in NetBeans, Other Components section) is showing. Below are custom properties for this JDialog:
The problem is that, on Windows XP (probably 7 too), when JDialog occurs then I can't minimalize application by minimalize parent form. On Ubuntu it is working as expected, but on Windows doesn't.
I have look into http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/misc/modality.html and this example is working on Ubuntu and Widows as well. So, I tried to create sample JDialog manually as in it demo. And again on Ubuntu is woking, on Windows is not.
COuld someone have any idea? I have not any already.
SAmple DEMO, working on Ubuntu, not working on Windows XP:
package javaapplication5;
public class TWs extends javax.swing.JFrame {
/**
* Creates new form TWs
*/
public TWs() {
initComponents();
}

Please try the below comments
you just use this constructor JDialog(Parent, Title, model)
jDialog1 = new javax.swing.JDialog(this, "Test", false);
and remove the line which sets modalityType .
jDialog1.setModalityType(java.awt.Dialog.ModalityType.APPLICATION_MODAL);
I hope it'll help.
(Please note that when you minimize tha JFrame the child JDialog will also get minimized)
