I'm wondering How To Add Image To MessageDialog Box. I tried the code below and the image was nowhere to be found
else if(button == B){
String text = "blahblahblahblahblah";
JTextArea textArea = new JTextArea(text);
textArea.setColumns(30);
textArea.setLineWrap( true );
textArea.setWrapStyleWord( true );
textArea.setSize(textArea.getPreferredSize().width, 1);
Font font = new Font("Verdana", Font.BOLD, 12);
textArea.setFont(font);
textArea.setForeground(Color.BLUE);
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(
null, textArea, "Border States", JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);
image2 = new ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("borderstates.jpg"));
label2 = new JLabel(image2);
add(label2);
What is a MessageDialogBox? If you mean add an image to a JOptionPane, there are method overloads that accept an Icon, and so this is one way to solve this. Another is to create a JPanel or JLabel with your image and other components and then display this in the JOptionPane.
From the javadoc on JOptionPane:
Just make an
Icon
of your image and add it as a 5th parameter.Don't forget to define image2 before you use it (move the line up)
JOptionPane
is a very flexible API.Your first port of call should be the Java API Docs and the Java Trails, specific How to use Dialogs
