I am trying to disable the "main" JFrame when the new frame pops up. I want it so you can not click or drag anything on that frame. I tried making the new frame a JDialog, but that did not disable the other frame. I also looked at the other post about this, which suggested to make it a JDialog but it still does not work. I really need help doing this please. thanks. This is the codeIi am using to make the JDialog, is their any problems with it? 

editDialog=new JDialog(IntroScreen.frame);

IntroScreen.frame represents the "main" frame.

You have set for JDialog#setModal or JDialog#ModalityTypes, maybe with Dialog.ModalityType APPLICATION_MODAL
