Show Dialog with TextArea & Buttons

[Unnsse Khan]

I am using the JOptionPane to show a small dialog box... How do I show a custom dialog box (or another frame) which contains a TextArea and two buttons? Sorry, I'm a Swing dummy

Here's where the code is executed:

taskDescription.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
JOptionPane.showInternalInputDialog(desk, "Enter Description");
}
});

Any help, tips, suggestions, will be greatly appreciated....

With thanks,

Hi,

We can add Components to the options array of the JOptionDialog whc is actually an object array.

....Sample Code.....

package abc;

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
//import javax.swing.event.*;
import java.awt.event.*;



public class OptionDlg
extends JFrame {
// JOptionPane optionPane = null;
public OptionDlg() {

this.setSize(new Dimension(300, 300));
JButton btn = new JButton("Click");
this.getContentPane().add(btn);
this.setVisible(true);
btn.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
Object options[] = {
new JTextField("Text Field"),new JButton("Button")};

int stopOption = JOptionPane.showOptionDialog(null,
"Option Dialog",
"Option Dialog", JOptionPane.DEFAULT_OPTION,
JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE, null,
options, options[0]);

}
});

}

public static void main(String[] args) {
OptionDlg optionDlg1 = new OptionDlg();
}

}


U can also use your own JDialog and JFrame instead of thisnd ur componentns like Textfiled or button to this.

Bbye

This is a good example, thank you...

Can you show me an example of a TextArea that is embedded inside the Dialog??

Hi Unnsse,

You could use JFrameBuilder to make some examples of a TextArea that is embedded inside the Dialog by yourself.
