## Enum Modality

- java.lang.Object
- - java.lang.Enum<Modality>
  - - javafx.stage.Modality

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    `Serializable`, `Comparable<Modality>`

      public enum Modality
      extends Enum<Modality>

  This enum defines the possible modality types for a `Stage`.
  Since:
    JavaFX 2.0

- - ### Enum Constant Summary

    Enum Constants
    Enum Constant | Description
    --- | ---
    `APPLICATION_MODAL` | Defines a modal window that blocks events from being delivered to any other application window.
    `NONE` | Defines a top-level window that is not modal and does not block any other window.
    `WINDOW_MODAL` | Defines a modal window that block events from being delivered to its entire owner window hierarchy.

  - ### Method Summary

    All Methods Static Methods Concrete Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method | Description
    --- | --- | ---
    `static Modality` | `valueOf​(String name)` | Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
    `static Modality[]` | `values()` | Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

- - ### Enum Constant Detail

    - #### NONE

          public static final Modality NONE

      Defines a top-level window that is not modal and does not block any other window.

    - #### WINDOW_MODAL

          public static final Modality WINDOW_MODAL

      Defines a modal window that block events from being delivered to its entire owner window hierarchy. Note: A Stage with modality set to WINDOW_MODAL, but its owner is null, is treated as if its modality is set to NONE.

    - #### APPLICATION_MODAL

          public static final Modality APPLICATION_MODAL

      Defines a modal window that blocks events from being delivered to any other application window.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### values

          public static Modality[] values()

      Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

          for (Modality c : Modality.values())
              System.out.println(c);

      Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

    - #### valueOf

          public static Modality valueOf​(String name)

      Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
      Parameters:
        `name` - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
      Returns:
        the enum constant with the specified name
      Throws:
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
        `NullPointerException` - if the argument is null
