Hi,

Is there a C# type MessageBox() in Java? That is a standard notification
dialog box to which some text and buttons like 'OK', 'OK and Cancel', 'Yes
or No', etc. can be displayed quickly.

In C# you would do this:

DialogResult res = MessageBox.Show(text, title,
MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Asterisk);

I've been trawling through the API and can't find such a thing.

Thanks,

MS

Seems you overlooked this one :)

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/swing/JOptionPane.html

especially:

<http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/swing/JOptionPane.html#showConfirm
Dialog(java.awt.Component,%20java.lang.Object,%20java.lang.String,%20int)>

Your example would be:

int choice = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(parent,
"The message",
"The title",
JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION);
if (choice == JOptionPane.YES_OPTION)
{
...
}
