JOptionPane with Multiple InputText boxes

[Faraz Alig]

Hi Java Guru's,


As per the requirement I have to use a single JOptionPane with three input textboxes for taking three inputs.
Kindly help me how to do that.

Thanks in advance..

The message parameter of JOptionPane's showXXX methods can take any object. Usually you use a String or String array, but you can provide complete Swing controls. In your case, it's as simple as this:

JPanel panel = new JPanel();
JTextField field1 = new JTextField(10);
panel.add(field1);
JTextField field2 = new JTextField(10);
panel.add(field2);
JTextField field3 = new JTextField(10);
panel.add(field3);
int value = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(frame, panel, "Enter text", JOptionPane.OK_CANCEL_OPTION);
if (value == JOptionPane.OK_OPTION)
{
    // OK was pressed
    String s1 = field1.getText();
    String s2 = field2.getText();
    String s3 = field3.getText();
    // handle them
}

You can of course change the JPanel's layout manager to something more suitable, but this is just for showing how it's done.
