Displaying an image in a dialog box

Question

What i was trying to do in my last post was basically call a frame from within a frame and display an image in it. I've researching it a bit more, i think a dialog box would be the better idea(Cheers for the suggestion on the dialog box). I have the image stored in the frame below. What i would like to do is display it as the parent paremeter, but i can't seem to get it to work. Its just a normal sized picture that i need to display, i can't seem to see what to change, hope i have explained it well enough for ye
Help would be great thanks

JFrame dummyFrame = new JFrame();
          ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon("Standard.png");
          dummyFrame.setIconImage( icon.getImage() );
          String output7 = "The Requested Picture";
          JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, output7, " ", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);

I'm a little fuzzy on what you're trying to accomplish.
Do you understand that JFrame.setIconImage sets the image to be used for the frame on the taskbar, and as the tiny icon on the caption bar? It doesn't appear inside the frame. (I'm talking Windows here when I say "taskbar", of course, but the idea is the same in other OS's.)
If when you say you just want to display an image in a frame, you mean, well, try this and see if it's what you want:
JFrame myFrame=new JFrame("My Frame");
Container content=myFrame.getContentPane();
ImageIcon icon=new ImageIcon("Standard.png");
JLabel imagearea=new JLabel(icon);
content.add(imagearea,BorderLayout.CENTER);
myFrame.pack();
myFrame.show();
