how to wrap large message of JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog in scrollbar ...

[Mohammed Ajmal]

Hi,

I am using JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(..) to display a message where sometimes the message is so big that it displays the dialog with buttons not visible properly to the user. In such cases the message should get wrapped and should appear in the scrollbar.

Is there any way to wrap the message and display properly.

Or Should we have to write out own dialog box for acheiving the same.

Thanks in advance for your inputs.

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
 
public class DialogTest
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        String s = "";
        for(int j = 0; j < 40; j++)
            s += "hello world  ";
        JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(new JLabel(s));
        scrollPane.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(200,100));
        Object message = scrollPane;
        int retVal = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null,
                                                   message,
                                                   "dialog test with label",
                                                   JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION);
        System.out.println("retVal = " + retVal);
 
        JTextArea textArea = new JTextArea(s);
        textArea.setLineWrap(true);
        textArea.setWrapStyleWord(true);
        textArea.setMargin(new Insets(5,5,5,5));
        scrollPane.getViewport().setView(textArea);
        message = scrollPane;
        retVal = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null,
                                               message,
                                               "dialog test with textarea",
                                               JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION);
        System.out.println("retVal = " + retVal);
        System.exit(0);
    }
}
