title: Can I use a Java JOptionPane in a non-modal way?
body: <p>I am working on an application which pops up a JOptionPane when a certain action happens. I was just wondering if it was possible that when the JOptionPane does pop up how can you still use the background applications. Currently when the JOptionPane pops up I can't do anything else until I close the JOptionPane.</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p>
  
  <p>Thanks for the reply guys and the information. Think ill leave this function out of the application cause it looks like it could be more hassle than necessary. </p>
