Display a message boxTag(s): AWT
If using Swing then look at the JOptionPane component.
With plain AWT, this simple class can be used as a Message Box.
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class MsgBox extends Dialog implements ActionListener {
private Button ok,can;
public boolean isOk = false;
/*
* @param frame parent frame
* @param msg message to be displayed
* @param okcan true : ok cancel buttons, false : ok button only
*/
MsgBox(Frame frame, String msg, boolean okcan){
super(frame, "Message", true);
setLayout(new BorderLayout());
add("Center",new Label(msg));
addOKCancelPanel(okcan);
createFrame();
pack();
setVisible(true);
}
MsgBox(Frame frame, String msg){
this(frame, msg, false);
}
void addOKCancelPanel( boolean okcan ) {
Panel p = new Panel();
p.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
createOKButton( p );
if (okcan == true)
createCancelButton( p );
add("South",p);
}
void createOKButton(Panel p) {
p.add(ok = new Button("OK"));
ok.addActionListener(this);
}
void createCancelButton(Panel p) {
p.add(can = new Button("Cancel"));
can.addActionListener(this);
}
void createFrame() {
Dimension d = getToolkit().getScreenSize();
setLocation(d.width/3,d.height/3);
}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae){
if(ae.getSource() == ok) {
isOk = true;
setVisible(false);
}
else if(ae.getSource() == can) {
setVisible(false);
}
}
public static void main(String args[]){
Frame f = new Frame();
f.setSize(200,200);
f.setVisible(true);
MsgBox message = new MsgBox
(f , "Hey you user, are you sure ?", true);
if (message.isOk)
System.out.println("Ok pressed");
if (!message.isOk)
System.out.println("Cancel pressed");
message.dispose();
}
}
