J-Link + Swing GUI

[mali]

I've created a J-Link application, which has a swing GUI. On click of a UI command button, I'm creating a part files (simulating File--> New Part). The same thing when wanted to simulate through a swing GUI in synchronous mode, the GUI gets created, but when I push the button in the GUI, the GUI hangs. Can any one help me in making the swing GUI work with PROE?

class MenuButtonListener extends DefaultUICommandActionListener {
 public void OnCommand() {
 try {
 //This works
 Session curSession = pfcGlobal.GetProESession();
 Model tryModel = curSession.CreatePart("Testing");
  tryModel.Display();
 //This doesn't work
 //How to make it work 
 csProe.StepToProeGui.createAndShowGUI();
 } catch (Exception x) {
 STEP_TO_PROE.printMsg("something wrong: " + x);
 x.printStackTrace();
 System.out.println("------------------------------------");
 }
 }
}

Ok Finally got it.

It is possible to call an PROE action from a swing GUI. Use the following code to test it.

Conclusion:

JFrame doesnt work in Synchronous J-Link application

JDialog works in Synchronous application by seeting the flag "setModal(true);"

Thank you for providing the solution. However, at this moment, when this solution is applied and the JDialog is launched, the Creo interface gets stuck. Is there any good method to solve this problem?
