Use a JDialog bean
to provide a custom dialog. A dialog is typically used to display or
gather information for a single purpose.
The JDialog bean provides a content pane in which to place other components. The content pane provides logical separation of the dialog from its child components. With the exception of a JMenuBar, user interface components are added to the content pane. The default content pane, a JDialogContentPane, is represented in the Beans List as the child of the JDialog bean. You can delete the default content pane and replace it with another container component.
Use a Dialog bean, rather than a JDialog bean, if you want to use AWT components in the dialog. Alternatively, use a JOptionPane bean to create any of a variety of standard dialogs.
