The same answer : JOptionpane with an example 🙂
package experiments;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class CreateDialogFromOptionPane {
public static void main(final String[] args) {
final JFrame parent = new JFrame();
JButton button = new JButton();
button.setText(“Click me to show dialog!”);
parent.add(button);
parent.pack();
parent.setVisible(true);
button.addActionListener(new java.awt.event.ActionListener() {
@Override
public void actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
String name = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(parent,
“What is your name?”, null);
}
});
}
}
Hmm it has been a little while but from what I remember…
If you want a custom window you can just make a new frame and make it show up just like you would with the main window.
Java also has a great dialog library that you can check out here:
How to Make Dialogs
That may be able to give you the functionality you are looking for with a whole lot less effort.
Object[] possibilities = {“ham”, “spam”, “yam”};
String s = (String)JOptionPane.showInputDialog(
frame,
“Complete the sentence:n”
+ “”Green eggs and…””””
