All Implemented Interfaces:

public class BusyBox

extends java.awt.Dialog

implements java.lang.Runnable

A busy-box.

Puts up a dialog with a specified message. All user input is locked out. When the program is done with its task, it can unlock things by calling the done() method.

Sample usage:

 BusyBox b = new BusyBox( this, "Sample BusyBox" );
 b.show();
 [your task here]
 b.done();
 

NOTE: do not use this inside an event handler call! With some browsers this will cause a deadlock. Instead, have your event handler start a new thread to run the busy box and task.
