Um, er, that's what a "modal" dialog is supposed to do. Consider
an input-gathering dialog, like one where the user chooses "Proceed"
vs. "Cancel." The code shows the dialog, *waits until it closes*,
and collects the chosen answer.
If you don't want to wait, use a modeless dialog.

It's possible that I've failed to understand what you want to do,
but ... have you investigated javax.swing.ProgressMonitor?
