Thank you, Kevin Rushforth I agree with Darryl Burke The ability to halt and wait for input is a necessary feature. I think that JavaFX should have a convenient class just like Swing JOptionPane.

Thank you, Kevin. The ability to halt and wait for input is a necessary feature, so I look forward to the release of Alert. db

This is by design. Events are not delivered to blocked windows, but the application thread continues to run normally. There is a JIRA Feature request for an Alert class that will block the caller, but it is not a committed feature for 2.0. See RT-12643
