Setting JFrame to be only selectable window

I have a program where you have the main Frame and a secondary Frame that pops up. The secondary Frame holds progress bars. I want to set the secondary frame to be the only selectable frame until it closes on its own. How can I do that? I've been searching Google but no one has an answer that actually works...

Can you use a modal dialog instead of a Frame?

A little bit of messing around and I got it to work. Thanks Norm.

However now I have another question. How can I force close the Dialog when a method is called? I cant seem to find a method related to that.

I'm actually not wanting to do this entire set only selectable window thing. Just realized it is stopping my process from running...

Code :

---

setVisible(false)
// or
dispose()

Your "process" (whatever that might refer to) probably shouldn't be running on the EDT in that case.
