Hi,

I created two files Frame1.java and StandardDialog1.java extends JDialog.

Ur Frame can also be an applet.

In Frame1.java
Declare...
public static boolean dialogflg=true;

Under mousemovelistener ()
if(sdf==true){
StandardDialog1 sd = new StandardDialog1(this);
sd.show (true);
dialogflag=false;
}
}

Compile both the files and put them in the same package.

Try out...
