If it were me, I'd just use a timer. Like this:

Code:

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;

class Second extends JDialog implements ActionListener {
  JButton button;
  // we need these in more than one method its ok to make them class attributes
  JDialog jDialog;
  Timer t;    

  public Second(Frame parent) {
    super(parent, true);
    button = new JButton("##### - = b u t t o n = - #####");
    button.addActionListener(this);
    add(button);
    jDialog = new JDialog(this, "Do you see the label?", false);
    t = new Timer(2000,this) ; // We have a sw4nky Swing timer now :-)
  }

  public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
    Object source = e.getSource();
    if (source == button) odpriPovezavo();
    else if(jDialog.isVisible()==true) {
      jDialog.setVisible(false); 
      t.stop(); // stop timer
    }   
  }

  public void odpriPovezavo() {
    jDialog.getContentPane().add(new JLabel("CAN YOU SEE ME?", JLabel.CENTER));
    jDialog.setSize(300, 70);
    jDialog.setLocationRelativeTo(this);
    jDialog.setVisible(true);
    t.start(); // start timer
  }

}

what about like this:

Code:

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;

class Second extends JDialog implements ActionListener {
    JButton button;
    JDialog jDialog;  //class attributes

    public Second(Frame parent) {
        super(parent, true);
        button = new JButton("##### - = b u t t o n = - #####");
        button.addActionListener(this);
        add(button);
    }

    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        Object source = e.getSource();
        if (source == button) odpriPovezavo();

        else if(jDialog.isVisible() == true) {
            jDialog.setVisible(false); 
            //t.stop(); // stop timer
        }   
    }

    public void odpriPovezavo() {
        jDialog = new JDialog(this, "Do you see the label?", false);
        jDialog.getContentPane().add(new JLabel("CAN YOU SEE ME?", JLabel.CENTER));
        jDialog.setSize(300, 70);
        jDialog.setLocationRelativeTo(this);
        jDialog.setVisible(true);

        Timer t = new Timer(2000, this) ; // We have a sw4nky Swing timer now :-)
        t.setRepeats (false);
        t.start(); // start timer
    }
}

what do you mean with "sw4nky"

whay do we need (is it necessary):
t.stop(); // stop timer

I was trying to write s-w-a-n-k-y but, because w-a-n-k is a swearword in the opinion of the folks at wrox, it got "starred out". So the '4' is just a substitute for 'a' ;)

Nah, you don't really need the t.stop(); if you have setRepeats set false.

Cheers,
Charlie
