Dialog box user input in AWT

Question

Hey,
I need help implementing a dialog box for user input. I looked at the entry for dialog box on SUN website but i dont have a frame or any of the other components required to use the constructor. I am using an Applet.
Thank you in advance.

The first thing I saw on your code, I've not even looked through it yet, was you are using == to compare Strings... this will almost never work, and will definitely not work for how you are using it. Objects, like Strings, have methods for comparing, in the case you want it's myString.equals(otherString);
You have several options on getting the data from your second window, the easiest is probably just to make a public getter. Since your Window #1 has visibility to your second window, you can use the getter freely.
on the Window #1 side:
myPieceOfData = mySecondObjectRef.getMyDataValue();and on the Window #2 side:
public myDataType getMyDataValue(){
  return theReauestedData;
}Congratulations on getting going on Java. One thing about college, they usually do not care what language you are using, they are teaching concepts not tools--they usually leave the tool learning up to you.
Best of luck in your classes.
