Can we add scrollbar to JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog()

Hi,
Can we add a scroll bar to JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog() so that the contents(messages) which are to be displayed are present in scrollbar so that the buttons will be visible to the user like OK, CANCEL.
Currently when the message is large the buttons will not be visble in the screen.
So, it is possible ? Or there is any other alternative for the same.
Thanks.

Is there another library that I have to import? I recieve this error when I try to compile...
isPrime.java:53: cannot find symbol
symbol : variable sb
location: class isPrime
     JTextArea area = new JTextArea(sb.toString() );
I have javax.swing.* imported as of right now...
     JTextArea area = new JTextArea(sb.toString());
      area.setRows(25);
      area.setColumns(100);
      area.setLineWrap(true);
      JScrollPane pane = new JScrollPane(area);
       JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null,
     pane,
       "Test", JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION, JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE);
/*         JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,
           printArray(array),
     "Thanks for using Reverse Array", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
*/       the comment text is what I eventually wish to print((I simply hid it from the compiler so I could play w/ the code you provided)... it is the first 'n' number of primes up to which I'd like to be able to scroll through for large prints over 100 primes.
thx for the help

  • JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog in servlets

    Hi
    I am trying to show a dialog in a doPost method of a servlet. For some reason, it blocks the entire method and does not show the dialog. What gets me voiceless is that it works in the doGet method of the servlet.
    The situation is the following:
    - a first serlvet dispatches GET requests to other servlets according to the role of users.
    - in the doGet of this first servlet, a second (servlet2) is instantiated and its doGet is called;
    - in the doGet of servlet2, a HTML form (POST method) is generated;
    - when the submit button of the HTML form is pressed, the form is processed by the doPost of servlet2.
    JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog works in servlet2 only in the doGet and not in the doPost. Their code is:
    //Process the HTTP Get request
    public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
    DataModule1 dm = (DataModule1) ixPageProducer1.getSessionDataModule(request.getSession());
    dm.parameterRow1.setString("empl_ini", request.getRemoteUser());
    dm.queryDataSet1.refresh();
    empl_id = dm.queryDataSet1.getInt("number");
    ixPageProducer1.servletGet(this, request, response);
    //Process the HTTP Post request
    public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
    DataModule1 dm = (DataModule1) ixPageProducer1.getSessionDataModule(request.getSession());
    dm.queryDataSetReq.insertRow(false);
    ixPageProducer1.servletPost(this, request, response);
    JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null, "test" , "Request Confirmation", JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION);
    (I am using JBuilder and its InternetBeans to link the HTML pages with the DB).
    Many thanks in advance for helping a desperate Java beginner!!!

    I figured out that the dialog was actually generated, but "behind" my browser.You can try this to add the following either before or after the JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog:
    JOptionPane.requestFocus();
    But I think your best bet is to associate a frame with your dialog box as follows:
    Object parent = this.getParent();
    while (!(parent instanceof Frame)) parent = ((Component)parent).getParent();
    F = (Frame)parent;
    JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(F, "test" , "Request Confirmation", JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION);
    If this helps, don't forget the Dukes

  • JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog -- remember decision checkbox

    Hi
    JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog -- remember decision checkbox
    is there something to set "remember my decision" for the following dialog box i.e. this dialog sits inside a loop over a set of files
    so if i say "yes overwrite" it should remember that decision. Should i make a dialog box on my own or is there a parameter setting for this
    purpose ?
    if(currentCsvOutputFile.isFile()){
    int userConfirm = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(
              new JFrame(),
              currentCsvOutputFile + " already exists , Do you want to overwrite it ? " ,
              "Confirm",
              JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION);
    }Regards

    No need for a custom dialog, just add a JLabel and a JCheckBox to a JPanel and pass that as the message parameter.JCheckBox remember = new JCheckBox("Remember my decision");
        JPanel panel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout()); // or whatever layout you find best
        panel.add(new JLabel("File already exists , Do you want to overwrite it ? "), BorderLayout.NORTH);
        anel.add(remember, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
        int userConfirm = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(new JFrame(), panel, "Confirm", JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION);db

  • JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog in Russian

    I have an application that supports many languages including Russian. All other texts are displayed in Russian language correctly. However, I have an issue with JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog() in Russian language. This issue does not occur in ZH or ES. Does anyone know why the JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog() show the Yes/No button in English while the locale is in Russian? How can I fix this issue?
    Thanks!

    Does anyone know why the JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog() show the Yes/No button in English while the locale is in Russian?Tried to track it down, but gave up. So I (still) have no idea.
    How can I fix this issue?Here's one way:import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
    import javax.swing.UIManager;
    public class RussianDialog {
      public static void main(String[] args) {
        UIManager.put("OptionPane.yesButtonText", "Да");
        UIManager.put("OptionPane.noButtonText", "Нет");
        UIManager.put("OptionPane.cancelButtonText", "отменить");
        JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null,
                "русский", "русский".toUpperCase(),
                JOptionPane.YES_NO_CANCEL_OPTION);
    }Note that you will need to compile usingjavac -encoding UTF8 RussianDialog.javaif your default encoding doesn't support the Russian characters.

  • Can I add Containers and controls to UIComponent

    Hey,
    Can I add Containers/controls to UIComponent Class? If so what is the use of separate Canvas container Class (when UIComponent itself is holding all the container objects)?
    I tried to add 'Canvas' object to UIComponent Class, it is working...
    Can anyone clarify my question? please
    Thanks,
    Praveen

    Containers expect children to be IUIComponents and have built in logic for
    scrollbars.
    UIComponent children can be anything and doesn't have built in logic for
    scrollbars.

  • WindowsClosingEvent on JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog

    I have a confirmdialog but i want to be able to control what happens when i close this window instead of pressing yes or no.
    I have been reading about WindowListeners. Ive imlpemented WindowListener but i dont know how to add the windowListener to my confirmDialog.
    Heres the method i use for creating a confirmdialog
    private boolean confirmDialogue(String message) {
            int selectedOption = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(this, message, "Confirmation", JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION, JOptionPane.WARNING_MESSAGE);
            return (selectedOption == JOptionPane.YES_OPTION);

  • Positioning JOptionPane showConfirmDialog

    Hi,
    Is it possible to tell the exact position of where a JOptionPane showConfirmDialog is displayed upon execution? Help please!
    Thanks, James

    With a little bit of work, you can do anything in Java!
    In your case, I would suggest using an instance of JOptionPane rather than one of the static methods. The JOptionPane constructors are similar to the static methods in terms of the arguments they take (be careful, though, of mixing up the order of the message and option types). You can then use the createDialog() method to create the JDialog to display the JOptinPane in. Once you have the JDialog, you can use its getLocation() method to find out where it is. Your code might look something liek this:
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class OptionTest extends Object {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    JOptionPane optionPane =
    new JOptionPane("Hello, World!", JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE,
    JOptionPane,YES_NO_CANCEL_OPTION);
    JDialog dialog = optionPane.createDialog(null, "Greetings");
    System.out.println(dialog.getLocation());
    dialog.setVisible(true);
    Object value = optionPane.getValue();
    if (value != null && value instanceof Integer &&
    ((Integer)value).intValue == JOptionPane.YES_OPTION) {
    // do something
    Hope this helps.

  • JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog() displays weird msg

    I use showConfirmDialog() to request whether or not the program should continue when SUBMIT button is pressed. The first time the button is pressed there are 2 messages displayed in the dialog box: a fake one followed by the real one. This behaviour is not observed if the button is pressed a second time.
    This is only noticeable if I connect to the server where it runs using X windows. The same code run on either a LINUX PC or connecting to server using telnet doesn't show this behaviour.
    Partial code
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
    String msg = new String("Do you really want to submit this list?");
    String dtitle = new String("Pls. choose one :)");
    int msgType = JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE;
    int optionType = JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION;
    if (ae.getSource() instanceof JButton && ae.getActionCommand().equals("SUBMIT")) {
    jbtn.setBackground(Color.red);
    // Confirm dialog
    int r = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog((Component)this,msg,dtitle,optionType,msgType,null);

  • JOptionPane showConfirmDialog title obscured

    Hi there,
    I am using JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog to popup a question to the user, but the title is quite long and is abbreviated in the dialog. Is there any way I can force the popup to size itself so the full title is visible, or at least allow the user to resize it?

    Have you tried creating an instance of a JOptionPane using a constructor and setting its size before calling setVisible?
                        // create an instance of JOptionPane with the selected options
                        JOptionPane window =
                                                      new JOptionPane(message, messageType,
                                                                optionType, null, options, null);
                        // get an instance of the dialog
                        JDialog dialog = window.createDialog(parent, title);
                                    dialog.setSize (500,200);
                        // display the dialog
                        dialog.setVisible(true);
