simple JOptionPane help

[charlie mills]

I've created a dialog box with the options YES/NO but I now I want to perform another task depending on which button the users clicked.
I think I need an if statement saying:
if yes is clicked
then delete row,
if no is clicked,
do nothing.

I'm unsure what to put in the brackets of my if statement.
I know how to delete the row.

Sorry if i haven't explained this very well.

Let's start with the code which creates the dialog box.

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
            {
                JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null,
                            "Are you sure you want to delete this contact?","",
                            JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION);
                if (???)
                {
                    contactsTable.removeRow(table.getSelectedRow());
                }
            }

I'm just not sure what to put in the brackets of my if statement.

Howdy, Charlie!

Champion, I believe you are looking for something like this:

final int option = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null,
        "What is your choice?", "Title goes here",
        JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION);
if (option == JOptionPane.YES_OPTION) {
    System.out.println("Your choice is Yes!");
} else {
    System.out.println("Your choice is No!");
}

Thanks Roberto.
That's exactly what I was looking for!

}

Just as a note, the choice is not necessarily No - it can also be no choice, if the user clicked away the dialog with the little X. This will give the return value JOptionPane.CLOSED_OPTION which is different from JOptionPane.NO_OPTION. In most cases you don't care though, and will treat CLOSED_OPTION the same as NO_OPTION or CANCEL_OPTION - just as the Javadoc on CLOSED_OPTION mentions.
