Thread: Lock up code to the click of a button!!!

Hi All!!
I'm new in this forum. My name is Mauro and i'm italian, so... sorry for my english >_<

The question of this post is:
My professor wants us to not use JOptionPane to display inputdialog, and he wants us to create a small window where you can enter for example the name of a file to open and/or load.
So what did I do, I create a class, i implemented ActionListener listeners for events and extend the class with JFrame, and in the constructor I build my beautiful window. So far so good, it creates, and I can manage it completely.
Now comes the fun part.
If I put in the main by, for example:

IG_MiniFrame frmCorridoi = new IG_MiniFrame("Numero Corridoi!", 300, 200, 260, 100, "Numero Corridoi:");
IG_MiniFrame frmFile = new IG_MiniFrame("Numero File!", 300, 200, 260, 100, "Numero File:");
IG_MiniFrame frmPosti = new IG_MiniFrame("Numero Posti!", 300, 200, 260, 100, "Numero Posti:");

the program of course, continue to run the underlying code, without stopping to wait for me to insert a given value in the JTextField.
I remedied this with a horrid, ugly, that goes against my way of programming, but I only found this method, and that is to put a while loop that loops until I press the OK button of the window that I change a Boolean variable to true and will continue the main and open another window:

IG_MiniFrame frmCorridoi = new IG_MiniFrame("Numero Corridoi!", 300, 200, 260, 100, "Numero Corridoi:");
while(frmCorridoi.getComplete()==false){}
IG_MiniFrame frmFile = new IG_MiniFrame("Numero File!", 300, 200, 260, 100, "Numero File:");
while(frmFile.getComplete()==false){}
IG_MiniFrame frmPosti = new IG_MiniFrame("Numero Posti!", 300, 200, 260, 100, "Numero Posti:");
while(frmPosti.getComplete()==false){}

What I ask is: is there a more "beautiful" to program such a thing? lock code until you enter the value in the text?
It would take a good method in the actionperformed type:
main.continue(); XD
and of course in the constructor main.stop(); >_>

Allen Walker posts a question from an Italian called Mauro? WTF?

Does "lock code" mean you want to block execution?
If you use a modal dialog, you could keep the user in the dialog until there is a correct answer or cancellation.
