Disabling other action while a JFrame is open

Question

I was wondering if it was possible to disable all other action when a JFrame is opened in Java.

Just like this?

enter image description here

Is there easy code for this?

This has been asked many times and the answer is always the same: use a modal JDialog or JOptionPane (which is a version of a modal JDialog), not another JFrame.

For example, please check out mKorbel's answer here.
