How to make a JOptionPane stay opened

Question

I have a JOptionPane which displays a custom panel. I've read that the option pane cannot be made to remain opened after pressing the OK button for example. Is that really true and if not how could it be done.

EDIT

I found this link very useful link http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/dialog.html#stayup

@Chris I have two nested ones. And both get terminated after any of the buttons is pressed. — , May 14 '17 at 18:41
You can use JPanel/JFrames to make popups instead that you have more control over - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28115745/making-a-jpanel-popup Then you can customize what you want the buttons to do — Chris, May 14 '17 at 18:43
