Question

Hi all,
I need to show a progress bar till another window opens up in swings.Below is the code i used to show the progress bar.My problem is i am able to get the dialog box where i have set the progress bar but i cldnt get the progress bar.But after the specified delay,another window gets loaded.
Plz tell me how to show a progress bar till another window loads.Any help is greatly appreciated :-)
                //Show the progress bar till the AJScreens loads.
                // Create a dialog that will display the progress.
                final JDialog dlg = new JDialog(this, "Progress Dialog", true);
                JProgressBar dpb = new JProgressBar();
                dpb.setVisible(true);
                dpb.setStringPainted(true);
                dpb.setBounds(70,60,150,10);
                dlg.getContentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout());
                dlg.getContentPane().add(BorderLayout.CENTER, dpb);
                dlg.getContentPane().add(BorderLayout.NORTH, new JLabel("Progress..."));
                dlg.setDefaultCloseOperation(JDialog.DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE);
                dlg.setSize(300, 75);
                dlg.setLocationRelativeTo(this);
                // Create a new thread and call show within the thread.
                Thread t = new Thread(new Runnable(){
                    public void run() {
System.out.println("atleast comes here --->");
                        dlg.show();
                // Start the thread so that the dialog will show.
System.out.println("Gonna start the thread --> ");
                t.start();
System.out.println("Thread started --> ");
                // Perform computation. Since the modal dialogs show() was called in
                // a thread, the main thread is not blocked. We can continue with computation
                // in the main thread.
                for(int i =0; i<=100; i++) {
                    // Set the value that the dialog will display on the progressbar.
System.out.println("i ----------> "+i);
                    dpb.setVisible(true);
                    dpb.setValue(i);
                    try {
                        Thread.sleep(25);
                    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                // Finished computation. Now hide the dialog. This will also stop the
                // thread since the "run" method will return.
                dlg.hide();regards,
kani.
