Re: Better than JOptionPane

Here's a quick example of what you want to do, which is just a simple
swing app. There are lots of pretty good tutorials on sun's site:

package javaapplication3;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JTextField;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Container;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
public class Main extends JFrame implements ActionListener
{
    JPanel pnlCenter, pnlSouth;
    JLabel lblName, lblCard, lblBlah;
    JTextField txtName, txtCard, txtBlah;
    JButton btnNext, btnCancel;
    public Main()
    {
        Container c = this.getContentPane();
        c.setLayout(new BorderLayout());

        pnlCenter = new JPanel(new GridLayout(3,3));
        lblName = new JLabel("Customer Name:");
        txtName = new JTextField();
        lblCard = new JLabel("Credit Card:");
        txtCard = new JTextField();
        lblBlah = new JLabel("Blah:");
        txtBlah = new JTextField();
        pnlCenter.add(lblName);
        pnlCenter.add(txtName);
        pnlCenter.add(lblCard);
        pnlCenter.add(txtCard);
        pnlCenter.add(lblBlah);
        pnlCenter.add(txtBlah);
        c.add(pnlCenter);

        pnlSouth = new JPanel();
        btnNext = new JButton("Next");
        btnNext.addActionListener(this);
        btnCancel = new JButton("Cancel");
        btnCancel.addActionListener(this);
        pnlSouth.add(btnNext);
        pnlSouth.add(btnCancel);
        c.add(pnlSouth, BorderLayout.SOUTH);

        this.pack();
    }
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae)
    {
        if(ae.getSource() == btnNext)
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, "Customer Name: " +
txtName.getText() + "\nCredit Card: " + txtCard.getText() + "\nBlah: "
+ txtBlah.getText());
        else if(ae.getSource() == btnCancel)
            this.dispose();
    }
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        Main m = new Main();
        m.setVisible(true);
    }

}
