Popup window questino

[jeremytaffy]

I am trying to get an actionlistener to open up a new window to display a JTextField.
the code is as follows:

delete.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
super("framename"
setSize(200, 200);
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
}
popup frame = new popup();
frame.add(JTextfield);
}
});

when compiling, this gives me an "illegal start of expression" and points to the public parrt of public popup()

WHY????

thanx in advance

I don't see the code for your class popup.

You might want to avoid reinventing the wheel and just use the JOptionPane.

String input = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Give me input"
...

How can I add a JTextField to a JOptionPane?

[meadandale]

Use the overloaded CTOR:

JTextField field = new JTextField();
Object [] messages =
{
"Enter the data dummy:",
field,
};

int option = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null, messages, "Enter some input", JOptionPane.OK_CANCEL_OPTION, JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE);

if (option == JOptionPane.OK_OPTION)
{
String input = field.getText();
// do something with it
}
...
