JOptionPane : change the Icon
Use the version of the method that takes an icon parameter, and pass in null for the icon.
for example, works as I expected
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import javax.swing.BorderFactory;
import javax.swing.JComboBox;
import javax.swing.JComponent;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
public class OptionPaneOptions {
private JPanel options;
private Object[] items;
public OptionPaneOptions() {
options = new JPanel(new GridLayout(0, 3));
options.add(createOptionPane("Plain Message", JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE));
options.add(createOptionPane("Error Message", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE));
options.add(createOptionPane("Information Message", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE));
options.add(createOptionPane("Warning Message", JOptionPane.WARNING_MESSAGE));
options.add(createOptionPane("Want to do something?", JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE));
items = new Object[]{"First", "Second", "Third"};
JComboBox choiceCombo = new JComboBox(items);
options.add(titled(new JOptionPane(choiceCombo,
JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE, JOptionPane.OK_CANCEL_OPTION), "Question Message"));
JFrame frame = new JFrame("JOptionPane'Options");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.add(options, BorderLayout.CENTER);
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
}
static JOptionPane createOptionPane(String message, int type) {
JOptionPane pane = new JOptionPane(message, type);
String title = message;
if (type == JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE) {
title = "Question Message";
pane.setOptionType(JOptionPane.YES_NO_CANCEL_OPTION);
}
return titled(pane, title);
}
static <T extends JComponent> T titled(T c, String title) {
c.setBorder(BorderFactory.createTitledBorder(title));
return c;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
OptionPaneOptions test = new OptionPaneOptions();
}
}
this is the format @Jesse Barnum was talking about
public static void showMessageDialog(Component parentComponent,
Object message,
String title,
int messageType,
Icon icon);
you supply int messageType
with the messageType constants that also determines the icon
example: this one outputs a Question icon, using JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Are you OK?","HI",JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE,null);
this one outputs a Information icon
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"You are reading something","FYI",JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE,null);
