JDialog Title gets truncated

Hi All,

In my JDialog, when the title is too long the tile gets truncated and gets displayed as 'THIS IS MY T..'.
I just want to set the width of my JDialog corresponding to my TITLE STRING Length.

Any help on this is appreciated.

Good usability dictates, the the Title should be short and concise. Like "Error" or "Open" or "Confirm". If you want to display more detailed information, you can make it a part of the message being displayed in the dialog.

Hi All,

Sorry for the late response. I managed to get this done.
I get the font used to paint the FRAME TITLE from the Look And Feel used. With the font create the Font Metrics. From the Font Metrics, get the width.
Below is the piece of code that I have used.

int s_defaultConfirmDialogWidth = // SOME DEFAULT MIN WIDTH FOR YOUR APPLICATION;
        char[] titleAsChars = dialogTitle.toCharArray();
        try {
            if (titleAsChars != null && titleAsChars.length > 0) {
                FontUIResource fontUiResource = (FontUIResource) UIManager.getLookAndFeel().getDefaults().get("InternalFrame.titleFont");
                if (fontUiResource != null) {
                    FontDesignMetrics fontMetrics = new FontDesignMetrics(fontUiResource);
                    int width = fontMetrics.charsWidth(titleAsChars, 0, titleAsChars.length);
                    width = width + 50; // Added for Title icon and close icon
                    return Math.max(width, s_defaultConfirmDialogWidth);
                } else {
                    return s_defaultConfirmDialogWidth;
                }
            } else {
                return s_defaultConfirmDialogWidth;
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("Exception in calculating the Confirmation Dialog width. Returning the default width.");
            return s_defaultConfirmDialogWidth;
        }
