I'm using the JDK 1.0.2 to create applets that all browsers can run. What I need to do is open a dialog box and have the current thread wait until the dialog box closes. The dialog box requires input before it closes.

My real problem is that the current thread happens to be the AWT event handler thread. So if I try any wait()ing or notify()ing or suspend()ing, then it will lock up the thread and there will be no way of receiving any input.

Simply put, how can I do this without affecting the AWT thread?

Thanks.
