public static final Dialog.ModalityType MODELESS
MODELESS dialog doesn't block any top-level windows.public static final Dialog.ModalityType DOCUMENT_MODAL
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.public static final Dialog.ModalityType APPLICATION_MODAL
APPLICATION_MODAL dialog blocks all top-level windows
 from the same Java application except those from its own child hierarchy.
 If there are several applets launched in a browser, they can be
 treated either as separate applications or a single one. This behavior
 is implementation-dependent.public static final Dialog.ModalityType TOOLKIT_MODAL
TOOLKIT_MODAL dialog blocks all top-level windows run
 from the same toolkit except those from its own child hierarchy. If there
 are several applets launched in a browser, all of them run with the same
 toolkit; thus, a toolkit-modal dialog displayed by an applet may affect
 other applets and all windows of the browser instance which embeds the
 Java runtime environment for this toolkit.
 Special AWTPermission "toolkitModality" must be granted to use
 toolkit-modal dialogs. If a TOOLKIT_MODAL dialog is being created
 and this permission is not granted, a SecurityException will be
 thrown, and no dialog will be created. If a modality type is being changed
 to TOOLKIT_MODAL and this permission is not granted, a
 SecurityException will be thrown, and the modality type will
 be left unchanged.public static Dialog.ModalityType[] values()
