I mean JFrame. I want to open popup (modal) JFrame with 3 buttons,

Basically I want to recreate JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog,
using separate JFrame.
Ah OK. Short answer: no you can't do that.
Longer answer: Use a JPanel instead of a JFrame, that'll work. You can
also use JDialog directly or use some of the other methds in JOptionPane
to create different types of JOptionPanes.
There's an example of putting three buttons on a JOptionPane here:

Here's a quick example of popping a JOptionPane over a JFrame I whipped u=
p.
package test;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
public class JOptionPaneTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
final MainView frame = new MainView();
frame.addButtonActionListener(new ActionListen=
er() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e=
) {
Object[] options = {"Yes, please=
",
"No, thanks",
"No eggs, no ham!"};
int n = JOptionPane.showOptionDi=
alog(frame,
"Would you like so=
me green eggs to go "
+ "with that ham?"=
,
"A Silly Question"=
,
JOptionPane.YES_NO=
_CANCEL_OPTION,
JOptionPane.QUESTI=
ON_MESSAGE,
null,
options,
options[2]);
frame.setResult( Integer.toString(=
n ) );
}
});
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_=
CLOSE);
frame.pack();
frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
});
}}
class MainView extends JFrame {
private final JLabel resultLabel = new JLabel();
private final JButton button = new JButton("Click me");
public MainView() {
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
panel.add(resultLabel);
panel.add(button);
add(panel);
}
public void addButtonActionListener(ActionListener a) {
button.addActionListener(a);
}
public void setResult( String result ) {
resultLabel.setText(result);
}
}
Thanks again, Mark!
I believe you and Eric can show me correct approach to the problem I
have.
I'm coming from strong C# background, repeating my current knowledge
using Java. That sucks and I know it.
Java is nothing what I have done before. The problem is simple (for
you) and frustrating (for me):
I have to implement popup window with predefined background and nice
buttons (OK and Cancel) designed by our design team.
I cannot use 80-ish default style of the buttons, they have nice, blue
png skins.
This is simple "Do you agree?" popup window.
Im agree im doing it probably hard way but dont judge too fast - as I
said im repeating my .NET/C# experience here and my last approach to
Java was like 3 years ago when I quit before I started.
Again: I see the only one way - create new JPanel or JFrame, add
background image, add skinned buttons (no this.BackgroundImage option
for buttons and panels, I guess) and finally create this popup. I'm
not brave enough to imagine, how will I pass results (OK or Cancel) to
the parent form ;)
Eric: is it really as easy as set the background image of JOptionPane,
skin the buttons with png (and place them in correct locations) and
fit it in reasonable amount of the code?
