I am trying to use JOptionPane to allow a user to enter some String
data. Things are going well but I can't initialize the input
textfield with a value. This is for part of a Preference panel, so I
want to initialize it with the old preference string. The problem is
that despite using JOptionPane's setInputValue(), the dialog's
textfield initially comes up empty. Am I going about this wrong?
The code is below.
private void setAutoSendPassword()
{
String message = "Enter password for auto-send:";
String password = autoSendPassword;
JOptionPane jop = new JOptionPane(message,
JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE,
JOptionPane.OK_CANCEL_OPTION);
jop.setWantsInput(true);
jop.setInputValue(password);
JDialog dialog = jop.createDialog(this, "Enter Password");
dialog.setResizable(false);
dialog.toFront();
dialog.setVisible(true);
Object selectedValue = jop.getValue();
if (selectedValue != null)
{
password = (String)jop.getInputValue();
autoSendPassword = password;
}
}
I am running this on Mac OS X (using JRE 1.3)
Also, as you can see, I am using this to enter a password. Is there
a way to get JOptionPane to use a JPasswordField rather than a
JTextField???
Thanks.
