JOptionPane Q

[jeremytaffy]

I want to be able to get the screen size from the host, and set that as the size of my JOption pane. Is this possible? If so, how? how can i first get the screen size, and then set the JOptionPane to use all of it.
Thanks in advance

you can get the screen size by using the Toolkit.getScreenSize() which returns a dimension object.

as for setting the JOptionPane, you can try using the methods it inherits from JComponent:

setMinimumSize()
setMaximumSize()
setPreferredSize()

Not sure if it will work but that is what will do it if you can.
