You probably need to process and dispatch w32 events related to the
delphi window (a modal window usually automatically processes it's own
events in the "show" call).
See the keyboard hook example in the "contrib" area of SVN; there's an
example of using a windows message queue.

HI
I am new to Java and would like to use a Delphi form in my Java
project.
I looked at the JNI route, and the latest JNI.pas libs are a bit old
and I don’t know if it is compatable with Java 6.0.
I then looked at JNA and in a short space of time could launch the
Delphi form from a Delphi win32 dll and set callbacks to the Java
application and could get feedback from theDelphi form in the java
out put.
I was very impressed with JNA , and the work involved was easy to
implement and to understand.
Then I hit a brick wall.
I created a JFrame with a few JButtons and JLabels to launch the
Delphi window with and to reflect the data in the JLabels that was
received in the callbacks from the Delphi Window.
I did not work. If I show the Delphi window modal from the dll , it
behaves very nice , it (the Delphi Window) updates and repaints ,
but now , data is received in the Java Form for display , when the
Delphi Window closes the callback data gets to the Java window.
So the next step is to show the Delphi window not in modal , and
then it seems that the Delphi window is hanging , its non
responsive , does not repaint and does not want to close.
What is happening here?
Can anybody shed some light on this?
I really would like to get this working as a interim solution, while
we get all our legacy software over to Java.
