Default Dialog

[Angela Jessi]

Hi,
Can I have default standard dialog box in Java? (If I don't want to create Dialog object)
Thanks,
Angela

Java comes with several pre-defined dialogs, JOptionPanes. They're pretty easy to use. Give them some simple parameters and you've got a dialog! More on them can be found at:

Thanks Matt,
But I am restricted to use AWT.I don't want to use Swing. Any suggestions in AWT. Instead of initiating the object , if i can use standard dialog directly ?
Thanks again,

I don't think I'm alone in wondering exactly what it is you are asking. Can you be a bit more clear exactly what you're trying to do?
Here is my best guess:
You want some default behaviour for a message type of dialog. Eg:

MsgBox m = new MsgBox(parent, "The process is done.");
m.show();

And the dialog that is presented already has an OK button, and a window closing 'X' that works, etc...
If this is the case, then write your own MsgBox class that extends Dialog, and use this new class, instead of Dialog.
But in any event, to make use of a class, you need to instantiate it, unless of course you make some static members/methods.
