I want to know how i can do a messageBox from three input dialog ..
Like this:
JOptionPane.showInputMessageDialog("Enter your FirstName");
JOptionPane.showInputMessageDialog("Enter your MiddleName");
JOptionPane.showInputMessageDialog("Enter your LastName");
But I want one message has a three input boxes.
Build a JPanel (supose it's named inputPanel) with the three JtextFields to input and then do this:
if (JOptionPane.YES_OPTION == JOptionPane.showconfirmDialog(
parentComponent, inputPanel, "Enter your data", JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION) {
// retrieve data from the JTextFields and do things
} else {
// User close the dialog, do things... or not
}
You can't do that with JOptionPane. Create a JDialog and add three JTextField's to it instead. A JDialog will block the caller when you call setVisible(true), so it's easy to create a dialog that waits for user input before it returns.
showInputMessageDialog and its brethren are simple ways to whip up a simple "standard" dialog. For more complicated dialogs, I'm pretty sure you'll have to subclass JDialog or such.
As Telcontar has suggested you can add Swing components (like a JPanel) to an option pane. So it is easy to take advantage of the automatic creation of buttons rather than do it from scratch by building your own JDialog.
However, there is one small problem. The focus will be on the first button, not on the first component of your panel. To get around this problem you can try the solution presented in Dialog Focus.
You can find the standard Java Tutorial Example here:

The example has only one text box, but the example is clear enough for you to extend it.

I wish to create a dialog Pop Up Box where the details of an Item ,the image next to it and a "Yes" or "No" Button Options below them. Specifically, I am trying to show the details of a DVD and ask the user if he wishes to rent it.
Here's the picture if that helps(sorry I couldn't find an image online):
Then I wish to create an additional pop up promting the user for information if he chooses the "Yes" option.
My question is how to create this? I didn't find any answers in the JOptionPane documentation and tutorials.
You should use a JOptionPane (as you said.)
Basically, you want to have JOptionPane create a dialog for you. For a yes-or-no question, you would use a confirm dialog. So you would start with this:
int choice = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(this,
contents, "dialog-title", JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION,
JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);
Now, to explain the code:
The first argument is the frame that the dialog will show up on. I'm assuming you're calling this from an existing frame's code, so I put this there.
Next, you'll see a variable called contents. It can be any object, but here you want it to be a JPanel. Basically, you create a single panel containing everything you want above the buttons and pass it in as the message. This will put that panel above the two buttons (which JOptionPane will create for you).
The next argument is just the title of the dialog.
YES_NO_OPTION gives you the "yes" and "no" buttons instead of "ok" and "cancel".
I used PLAIN_MESSAGE because that doesn't put an icon on the dialog.
Finally, there is a return value, which I stored in choice. It will be equal to either JOptionPane.YES_OPTION, JOptionPane.NO_OPTION, or JOptionPane.CLOSE_OPTION. From there, if the user clicks "yes", you can make the next dialog show up and create it in the same way.
The concept is simple. I'd like to bring a JOptionPane frame in front of all other currently open windows/applications.
I'd like to do this without the help of anything like applescript (external java) or any third party library. Pure java.
I have searched for this all over but couldn't find one single non-third party solution. (.toFront() simply "focuses" on the window but doesn't actually display it in the front.)
The JOptionPanel and JDialog code:
JOptionPane optionPane = new JOptionPane(p4.msg, JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE, JOptionPane.YES_OPTION);
JDialog dialog = optionPane.createDialog("Important1!");
dialog.setVisible(true);
Where p4 is an object containing a public string.
Try this, I am assuming you are calling the JOptionPane from a frame, so pass the frame reference by using this, It should show it on top of at least your running program assuming it has focus.
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, p4.msg,"Important1!", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
I need to make a popup box with with a combo box and a couple of buttons. Please could someone advice on the best way to achieve this? I've had a look around and all I can find is alert boxes. Is this possible or will I need to create a whole new frame?
You can use the JOptionPane to achieve this. Please refer to the link below which explains this with sample code:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/dialog.html#input
JOptionPane.showInputDialog may be good enough if you are willing to leave how exactly the options are presented up to the UI.
I need to make a popup box with with a combo box and a couple of buttons
1) don't use another JFrame as popup window, use JFrame with JOptionPane/JDialog/JWindow these container are same as JFrame, but can take parent and owner
2) don't forget to setParent
3) depends if you needed decorated window then use JDialog, don't forget look for setModal() or ModalityTypes, if undecorated then use JWindow
4) don't create lots of JOptionPane/JDialog/JWindow on fly, becasue there Object are still in JVM memory, create this Container once and re-use that (by removing child) for another Action

I'm wondering how I could make this into a popup dialog. I designed this with Netbeans gui editor. I looked at option dialog, but all the examples only had a textfield or a combobox, not more than one thing like I have. So what would be the best way to make this in Java.
You should extend JDialog
See the dialogs tutorial
You can make a JDialog form
You could extend JDialog, then use GridBagLayout to implement GUI like that (actually JFrame also works, you just need to specify some setting like default close operations and stuff), if you use JDialog, set setModel() to true to block other GUI just like a pop up window.
I have a Java network application and this is what I want to do:
After user logs out, his interface window closes.
Now, I want for another window to show up that will say something like: "Thank you for using our application".
This final window should be borderless and without any available option, more like a plain picture (jpeg? why not?). By clicking on it, user will be sure to close this final window.
I googled and couldn't fin anything on this matter, it's hard to phrase the question.
I hope someone helps me...
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/javax/swing/JWindow.html
A JWindow is a borderless, undecorated JFrame (no titlebar or buttons).
This should be what you need.
This should help:

You're interested in the windowClosing and windowClosed events
You have various possibilities, depending on when you want this dialog to display :
if you want it to display juste before the app closes, use addShutdownHook
if you want it to display when the last window closes, use addWindowListener
You can then use a JWindow with your image inside, and use addMouseListener to wait for the user to click on it.
