By saying you want to 'block it' do you mean you want to disable all the buttons, textboxes etc in your mainFrame or do you just want to make it invisible?

what i mean is that, if the user click the mainframe dont let him to use anything , only the jdialog until he close that window!

i finally made it! after 5 hours -.-! the constructor of the jDialog has to be like this

public NewJDialog(JFrame frame, boolean modal) {
        super(frame, modal);
        initComponents();
    }

what i needed was the boolean parameter! but i dont get why!
