yes you can to change `setModal` or `ModalityTypes` on runtime, but for code in this form doesn't make me any sence
how to close jdialog from that button (inside jdialog)?
in this case doesn't matter if you'll to call `setVisible` or `dispose()`
create `JDialog` only one time,
create that as local variable
change `myDialog.setDefaultCloseOperation(JDialog.HIDE_ON_CLOSE);`, then `button` in the `toolbar` (with `X`) to hide `JDialog` too
then you can to call from `actionPerformed` only `myDialog.setVisible(true)` and `ModalityType` too if required, setVisible shoud be wrapped in `invokeLater()`, instead of creating a new instance (`new Dialogz(this, true);` )
`JButton` placed in `JDialog` will be called only `myDialog.setVisible(false)`
example corresponding with your logics
