public class JideOptionPane
extends JOptionPane

JideOptionPane is an enhanced version of JOptionPane.

This component is still in beta, thus we didn't include the UIDefault needed by this component into LookAndFeelFactory by default. If you want to use it, please refer to JideOptionPaneDemo's getDemoPanel method where we add all necessary UIDefaults using UIDefaultCustomizer.

                            throws HeadlessException

Brings up a dialog with a specified icon, where the initial choice is determined by the initialValue parameter and the number of choices is determined by the optionType parameter.

If optionType is YES_NO_OPTION, or YES_NO_CANCEL_OPTION and the options parameter is null, then the options are supplied by the look and feel.

The messageType parameter is primarily used to supply a default icon from the look and feel.

Parameters:

parentComponent - determines the Frame in which the dialog is displayed; if null, or if the parentComponent has no Frame, a default Frame is used

message - the Object to display

title - the title string for the dialog

optionType - an integer designating the options available on the dialog: DEFAULT_OPTION, YES_NO_OPTION, YES_NO_CANCEL_OPTION, or OK_CANCEL_OPTION

messageType - an integer designating the kind of message this is, primarily used to determine the icon from the pluggable Look and Feel: ERROR_MESSAGE, INFORMATION_MESSAGE, WARNING_MESSAGE, QUESTION_MESSAGE, or PLAIN_MESSAGE

icon - the icon to display in the dialog

options - an array of objects indicating the possible choices the user can make; if the objects are components, they are rendered properly; non-String objects are rendered using their toString methods; if this parameter is null, the options are determined by the Look and Feel

initialValue - the object that represents the default selection for the dialog; only meaningful if options is used; can be null

Returns:

an integer indicating the option chosen by the user, or CLOSED_OPTION if the user closed the dialog

Throws:

HeadlessException - if GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless returns true

Creates and returns a new JDialog wrapping this centered on the parentComponent in the parentComponent's frame. title is the title of the returned dialog. The returned JDialog will not be resizable by the user, however programs can invoke setResizable on the JDialog instance to change this property. The returned JDialog will be set up such that once it is closed, or the user clicks on one of the buttons, the optionpane's value property will be set accordingly and the dialog will be closed. Each time the dialog is made visible, it will reset the option pane's value property to JOptionPane.UNINITIALIZED_VALUE to ensure the user's subsequent action closes the dialog properly.
