I have created a modal JDialog box with a custom drawing on it and a JButton. When I click the JButton, the JDialog box should close and a value should be returned.
I have created a function in the parent JFrame called setModalPiece, which receives a value and sets it to a local JFrame variable.
The problem is that this function is not visible from the JDialog box (even though the JDialog box has a reference to the parent JFrame).
Two questions: 1) Is there a better way to return a value from a JDialog box to its parent JFrame?
2) Why can't the reference to the JFrame passed to the JDialog be used to access my JFrame function setModalPiece?
