removeDialogCallback(XulDialogCallback)
setModalParent(Object parent) - used to properly parent the dialog.

Sample Usage

prompt.setTitle("User Entry Required");
prompt.setMessage("Supply a new value:");
prompt.addDialogCallback(new XulDialogCallback(){
 enum Status{
   ACCEPT,
   CANCEL,
   ONEXTRA1,
   ONEXTRA2
 }
  public void onClose(XulComponent sender, Status returnCode, Object retVal){
    switch(returnCode){
     case ACCEPT:
       setNewValue(((XulPromptBox) sender).getValue());
       break;
     case CANCEL:
       //Do nothing
       break;

});
prompt.open();
