ObjectfindParentDialogOrFrame(Container container)
Look for a JDialog or JFrame in the parent hierarchy of this specified container and return that JDialog or JFrame. 
while (container != null) {

return null;
FramegetFrame(Component parent)
Find the parent Frame. 
if (parent == null) {
    Frame option = JOptionPane.getRootFrame();
    if (!option.getClass().getName().startsWith("javax.swing.SwingUtilities$")) {
        return option;

JFramegetFrameParent(Component component)
get Frame Parent 
Window windowAncestor = getWindowParent(component);
if (windowAncestor instanceof JFrame)
    return (JFrame) windowAncestor;
return null;
ActiongetInstalledOperation(final RootPaneContainer frame, final Object actionKey, boolean selfOnly)
Returns the Action installed under the specified action key in the specified frame. 
JRootPane root = frame.getRootPane();
if (selfOnly) {
    ActionMap actionMap = root.getActionMap();
    ActionMap parentMap = actionMap.getParent();
    actionMap.setParent(null);
    Action result = actionMap.get(actionKey);
    actionMap.setParent(parentMap);
    return result;
...
FramegetParentalFrame(Component n)
