JOptionPane confirmation dialog box functionality issue

[Rajesh k Jha]

Hi,
I am just suprised when i checked the behaviour of JoptionPane confirm dialog box functionality.

   
int reply = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null, message, title, JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION);
    if (reply == JOptionPane.YES_OPTION)
    {
      System.exit(0);
    }

 

Above code give us option to choose between Yes/No, When i choose the option using mouse it works fine, but when i use tab to move to the "No" option and press enter it is being treated like i have choosen "Yes" option.

I just want to know how to overcome this functionality so that whether i use mouse or Tab and then enter to choose the option.

Thanks in advance

JOptionPane works fine, but something is wrong with your program, you've got a bug, but it's likely somewhere else in code that you're not showing us. For instance, this works:

import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

public class Fu {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      int reply = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null, "message", "title", 
               JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION);
      if (reply == JOptionPane.YES_OPTION) {
         System.out.println("yes");
      } else {
         System.out.println("no");
      }
   }

}

Maybe be a version/platform difference. It doesn't work for me either on XP using JDK6_7.

Check out Enter Key and Button for a solution.

doesn't work for me either, vista, 1.6.20something

you could also try adding this line (prior to creating optionPane)

UIManager.put("Button.defaultButtonFollowsFocus", Boolean.TRUE);

Shows what happens when I don't read the whole question! To the OP, please ignore my post!

Oops, I clicked the link but didn't read the first part, just saw the Input Map stuff.

Thanks Michael,

I got my problem solved, hence i want to post this comment so that other can get benefit from this kind of problem.

What i simply did is used following code.

 
UIManager.put("Button.defaultButtonFollowsFocus", Boolean.TRUE);
  int response = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null, errorMessage.toString(), "Confirmation",
                        JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION);
   

And its working fine for all the OptionPane.

Thanks once again
