# Enum Class Dialog.ModalityType

java.lang.Object
java.lang.Enum<Dialog.ModalityType>
java.awt.Dialog.ModalityType

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Serializable, Comparable<Dialog.ModalityType>, Constable`

Enclosing class:
  `Dialog`

public static enum Dialog.ModalityType extends Enum<Dialog.ModalityType>
Modal dialogs block all input to some top-level windows. Whether a particular window is blocked depends on dialog's type of modality; this is called the "scope of blocking". The `ModalityType` enum specifies modal types and their associated scopes.

Since:
  1.6

  - `Dialog.setModalityType(Dialog.ModalityType)`
  - `Toolkit.isModalityTypeSupported(Dialog.ModalityType)`

- ## Enum Constant Details

  - ### MODELESS

    public static final Dialog.ModalityType MODELESS
    `MODELESS` dialog doesn't block any top-level windows.

  - ### DOCUMENT_MODAL

    public static final Dialog.ModalityType DOCUMENT_MODAL
    A `DOCUMENT_MODAL` dialog blocks input to all top-level windows from the same document except those from its own child hierarchy. A document is a top-level window without an owner. It may contain child windows that, together with the top-level window are treated as a single solid document. Since every top-level window must belong to some document, its root can be found as the top-nearest window without an owner.

  - ### APPLICATION_MODAL

    public static final Dialog.ModalityType APPLICATION_MODAL
    An `APPLICATION_MODAL` dialog blocks all top-level windows from the same Java application except those from its own child hierarchy.

  - ### TOOLKIT_MODAL

    public static final Dialog.ModalityType TOOLKIT_MODAL
    A `TOOLKIT_MODAL` dialog blocks all top-level windows run from the same toolkit except those from its own child hierarchy.

- ## Method Details

  - ### values

    public static Dialog.ModalityType[] values()
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared.
    Returns:
      an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared

  - ### valueOf

    public static Dialog.ModalityType valueOf(String name)
    Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this class. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    Parameters:
      `name` - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    Returns:
      the enum constant with the specified name
    Throws:
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if this enum class has no constant with the specified name
      `NullPointerException` - if the argument is null
