JOptionPane.showOptionDialog 2

[Stretchwickster]

Just wondered if it was possible to add JComponents (i.e. JRadioButtons or JCheckBoxes specifically) to an option dialog. I've used the Object class to create bog-standard buttons on the option dialog but i want to customize it more than this!

Absolutely. Just substitute the message with your Component. I would suggest you use something like a JPanel, and place the JRadioButtons, etc on that.

JPanel p = new JPanel();
p.setBackground(Color.green);
p.add(new JRadioButton("A Radio Button&quot);
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, p, "title", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
