return value from GUI

[Richmond]

Hi,
I'm modelling a sw that synchronize two directories, a part of it
must be interactive and I have a "problem".

In the algorithm of synchronization when I encounter a difference
between the two directories I ask to the user what he will do, I call
a JDialog and I need to read an int value representing the choise
(ignore, copy A to B, delete, ...).

The OK button of the Gui set in actionPerformed the value (selected
button), in the same class I put a method getChoosedValue that return
the int value...now, when i call the getChoosedValue() on the
guiRequestPolicy don't happen nothing.

I explain it better:
<pre>
if (!matchEqualsMethod) {
guiRequestPolicy.setVisible(true);
//here I need to set the int value
chooseValue =
guiRequestPolicy.getChooseValue();
//then do the request policy
this.processInteractivePolicy(chooseValue,
tmpCheckFileBD, tmpCheckFileSD, confrontPolicy, checkFileFilter,
logFile);
}
</pre>

Someone can help me!? How can I read the value...or where is my error?
I hope I was precise explaining my problem, thanks.

Normally this sort of thing is done with a JOptionPane.

I solved it setting the JDialog modal, so the method getChoosedValue()
has to wait since the dialog is open...thank you for the help and the
quick answer
