Custom message box using Swings

[sahitya]

Hi

I am developing a GUI application. In that,user will select the date and when I click a button, that date should appear in a message box.

Date is retrieved correctly. But I am not able to display the date in message box. How to display date in a message box?

Using JOptionPane, I can only display static messages.

Please help. Let me know if you need any other information.

Thanks in advance.

sounds like you might have all your code in main().

simple demo

    
class Testing
{
  String name;
  public Testing()
  {
    String name = getName();
    displayMessage(name);
    System.exit(0);
  }
  public String getName()
  {
    String response = javax.swing.JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null,"Enter Your Name:");
    if(response == null) response = "nobody";
    return response;
  }
  public void displayMessage(String nameSupplied)
  {
    javax.swing.JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Hello,\n"+nameSupplied);
  }
  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    new Testing();
  }
}
