>From to API javadoc:

    Each of these methods also comes in a
    showInternalXXX flavor, which uses an
    >>> internal frame <<< to hold the dialog
    box (see JInternalFrame). Multiple convenience
    methods have also been defined -- overloaded
    versions of the basic methods that use different
    parameter lists. 

    >>> All dialogs are modal. <<<  Each showXxxDialog
    method blocks the current thread until the user's
    interaction is complete. 

The easiest way to display multiline messages is using
a JLabel and passing the message as html:

    new JLabel("<html>"...<br>...</html>");

Subject: Question on JOptionPane


Hi All:

     Is JOptionPane.showInternalMessageDialog(...) can only be used with
Internal frames becoz i am getting "JOptionPane: parentComponent does not
have a valid parent component when i have "frame" as its parent?

      Can an JOptionPane can be non-modal?

      How can make a long string cut in to multiple lines when showing up in
a JDialog?


         Basically what i want to do is throw a non-modal dialog( so that i
can continue with the background process)  with a long string wraped in to
multiple lines. I could do it with the JDialog, but that doesn't wrap the
string like JOptionPane does with "\n". Whereas JOptionPane is not a
non-modal. So i appreciate any suggestions, ideas. 

Thanks,
Selvi.
