Re: JavaFX, NetBeans Platform - Dialogs and Login

Hi Kevin,

I'm not aware of any way to make a JFX Dialog modal from a Swing
window. I did a quick search and found:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28058142/making-javafx-alerts-dialogs-modal-within-swing-application

If you do find something has changed or found a solution, I'd love to know.

Thanks!

It is possible to click into the NB app and just continue without the dialog.  Is this correct?  I have moved over to the NB platform dialogs, but I've had a couple of problems there, like a limitation on the number of lines of text in a message dialog.

Because all of the startup is running in a thread which isn't the JavaFX thread, I haven't been able to get the application to pause while the user enters their login credentials into the login view.  The entire application continues to load.  I've tried pausing threads and trying to make things application modal, but haven't had any success.
