JOptionPane makes it easy to pop up a standard dialog box that
prompts users for a value or informs them of something.
For information about using JOptionPane, see
How to Make Dialogs,
a section in The Java Tutorial.


While the JOptionPane
class may appear complex because of the large number of methods, almost
all uses of this class are one-line calls to one of the static
showXxxDialog methods shown below:


Common JOptionPane method names and their descriptions

  

    Method Name
    Description



  

    showConfirmDialog
    Asks a confirming question, like yes/no/cancel.
  

    showInputDialog
    Prompt for some input.
  

    showMessageDialog
    Tell the user about something that has happened.
  

    showOptionDialog
    The Grand Unification of the above three.




Each of these methods also comes in a showInternalXXX flavor, which uses an internal frame to hold the dialog box (see JInternalFrame). Multiple convenience methods have also been defined -- overloaded versions of the basic methods that use different parameter lists. 

All dialogs are modal. Each showXxxDialog method blocks
the caller until the user's interaction is complete.


Common dialog


 icon
 message




 input value




  option buttons




The basic appearance of one of these dialog boxes is generally
similar to the picture above, although the various
look-and-feels are
ultimately responsible for the final result.  In particular, the
look-and-feels will adjust the layout to accommodate the option pane's
ComponentOrientation property.




Parameters:

The parameters to these methods follow consistent patterns:





parentComponent

Defines the Component that is to be the parent of this
dialog box.
It is used in two ways: the Frame that contains
it is used as the Frame
parent for the dialog box, and its screen coordinates are used in
the placement of the dialog box. In general, the dialog box is placed
just below the component. This parameter may be null,
in which case a default Frame is used as the parent, and the dialog will be centered on the screen (depending on the L&F). 
message

A descriptive message to be placed in the dialog box.
In the most common usage, message is just a String or
String constant.
However, the type of this parameter is actually Object. Its
interpretation depends on its type:



Object[]
An array of objects is interpreted as a series of
                messages (one per object) arranged in a vertical stack.
                The interpretation is recursive -- each object in the
                array is interpreted according to its type.

Component
The Component is displayed in the dialog.

Icon
The Icon is wrapped in a JLabel
              and displayed in the dialog.

others
The object is converted to a String by calling
              its toString method. The result is wrapped in a
              JLabel and displayed.



messageType
Defines the style of the message. The Look and Feel
manager may lay out the dialog differently depending on this value, and
will often provide a default icon. The possible values are:

    

  • ERROR_MESSAGE

  • INFORMATION_MESSAGE

  • WARNING_MESSAGE

  • QUESTION_MESSAGE

  • PLAIN_MESSAGE



optionType
Defines the set of option buttons that appear at
the bottom of the dialog box:

    

  • DEFAULT_OPTION

  • YES_NO_OPTION

  • YES_NO_CANCEL_OPTION

  • OK_CANCEL_OPTION


You aren't limited to this set of option buttons.  You can provide any
buttons you want using the options parameter.

options
A more detailed description of the set of option buttons
that will appear at the bottom of the dialog box.
The usual value for the options parameter is an array of
Strings. But
the parameter type is an array of Objects.
A button is created for each object depending on its type:



Component
The component is added to the button row directly.

Icon
A JButton is created with this as its label.

other
The Object is converted to a string using its
             toString method and the result is used to
             label a JButton.



icon
A decorative icon to be placed in the dialog box. A default
value for this is determined by the messageType parameter.

title
The title for the dialog box.

initialValue
The default selection (input value).






When the selection is changed, setValue is invoked,
which generates a PropertyChangeEvent.


If a JOptionPane has configured to all input
setWantsInput
the bound property JOptionPane.INPUT_VALUE_PROPERTY
 can also be listened
to, to determine when the user has input or selected a value.


When one of the showXxxDialog methods returns an integer,
the possible values are:

    

  • YES_OPTION

  • NO_OPTION

  • CANCEL_OPTION

  • OK_OPTION

  • CLOSED_OPTION


Examples:



Show an error dialog that displays the message, 'alert':


JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "alert", "alert", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);


Show an internal information dialog with the message, 'information':

JOptionPane.showInternalMessageDialog(frame, "information",
            "information", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);



Show an information panel with the options yes/no and message 'choose one':

JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null,
            "choose one", "choose one", JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION);



Show an internal information dialog with the options yes/no/cancel and
message 'please choose one' and title information:

JOptionPane.showInternalConfirmDialog(frame,
            "please choose one", "information",
            JOptionPane.YES_NO_CANCEL_OPTION, JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);



Show a warning dialog with the options OK, CANCEL, title 'Warning', and
message 'Click OK to continue':

Object[] options = { "OK", "CANCEL" };
JOptionPane.showOptionDialog(null, "Click OK to continue", "Warning",
            JOptionPane.DEFAULT_OPTION, JOptionPane.WARNING_MESSAGE,
            null, options, options[0]);



Show a dialog asking the user to type in a String:


String inputValue = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please input a value");


Show a dialog asking the user to select a String:

Object[] possibleValues = { "First", "Second", "Third" };

Object selectedValue = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null,
            "Choose one", "Input",
            JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE, null,
            possibleValues, possibleValues[0]);




Direct Use:

To create and use an JOptionPane directly, the
standard pattern is roughly as follows:

    JOptionPane pane = new JOptionPane(arguments);
    pane.set.Xxxx(...); // Configure
    JDialog dialog = pane.createDialog(parentComponent, title);
    dialog.show();
    Object selectedValue = pane.getValue();
    if(selectedValue == null)
      return CLOSED_OPTION;
    //If there is not an array of option buttons:
    if(options == null) {
      if(selectedValue instanceof Integer)
         return ((Integer)selectedValue).intValue();
      return CLOSED_OPTION;
    }
    //If there is an array of option buttons:
    for(int counter = 0, maxCounter = options.length;
       counter < maxCounter; counter++) {
       if(options[counter].equals(selectedValue))
       return counter;
    }
    return CLOSED_OPTION;




Warning: Swing is not thread safe. For more
information see Swing's Threading
Policy.


Warning:
Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with
future Swing releases. The current serialization support is
appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running
the same version of Swing.  As of 1.4, support for long term storage
of all JavaBeans
has been added to the java.beans package. Please see XMLEncoder.

This class implements accessibility support for the
JOptionPane class.  It provides an implementation of the
Java Accessibility API appropriate to option pane user-interface
elements.


Warning:
Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with
future Swing releases. The current serialization support is
appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running
the same version of Swing.  As of 1.4, support for long term storage
of all JavaBeans
has been added to the java.beans package. Please see XMLEncoder.
