setSelectionValues

public void setSelectionValues(Object[] newValues)

Enabled: Sets the input selection values for a pane that provides the user with a list of items to choose from. (The UI provides a widget for choosing one of the values.) A null value implies the user can input whatever they wish, usually by means of a JTextField.

Sets wantsInput to true. Use setInitialSelectionValue to specify the initially-chosen value. After the pane as been enabled, inputValue is set to the value the user has selected.

Parameters:

newValues - an array of Objects the user to be displayed (usually in a list or combo-box) from which the user can make a selection

See Also:

setWantsInput(boolean), setInitialSelectionValue(java.lang.Object), getSelectionValues()

See Also:

setInitialSelectionValue(java.lang.Object), setSelectionValues(java.lang.Object[])

setInputValue

public void setInputValue(Object newValue)

Enabled: Sets the input value that was selected or input by the user. Only used if wantsInput is true. Note that this method is invoked internally by the option pane (in response to user action) and should generally not be called by client programs. To set the input value initially displayed as selected to the user, use setInitialSelectionValue.

Parameters:

newValue - the Object used to set the value that the user specified (usually in a text field)

See Also:

setSelectionValues(java.lang.Object[]), setInitialSelectionValue(java.lang.Object), setWantsInput(boolean), getInputValue()

Enabled: Returns the maximum number of characters to place on a line in a message. Default is to return Integer.MAX_VALUE. The value can be changed by overriding this method in a subclass.

Returns:

an integer giving the maximum number of characters on a line

setWantsInput

public void setWantsInput(boolean newValue)

Enabled: Sets the wantsInput property. If newValue is true, an input component (such as a text field or combo box) whose parent is parentComponent is provided to allow the user to input a value. If getSelectionValues returns a non-null array, the input value is one of the objects in that array. Otherwise the input value is whatever the user inputs.

This is a bound property.

styleFromMessageType

private static int styleFromMessageType(int messageType)

writeObject

private void writeObject(ObjectOutputStream s)
                  throws IOException

Description copied from class: JComponent

Before writing a JComponent to an ObjectOutputStream we temporarily uninstall its UI. This is tricky to do because we want to uninstall the UI before any of the JComponent's children (or its LayoutManager etc.) are written, and we don't want to restore the UI until the most derived JComponent subclass has been been stored.

Parameters:

s - the ObjectOutputStream in which to write

IOException

readObject

private void readObject(ObjectInputStream s)
                 throws IOException,
                        ClassNotFoundException

Description copied from class: JComponent

We use the ObjectInputStream "registerValidation" callback to update the UI for the entire tree of components after they've all been read in.

Parameters:

s - the ObjectInputStream from which to read

IOException

ClassNotFoundException

See Also:

ReadObjectCallback

paramString

Overrides:

paramString in class JComponent

Returns:

a string representation of this JOptionPane

getAccessibleContext

public AccessibleContext getAccessibleContext()

Enabled: Returns the AccessibleContext associated with this JOptionPane. For option panes, the AccessibleContext takes the form of an AccessibleJOptionPane. A new AccessibleJOptionPane instance is created if necessary.

Specified by:

Overrides:

getAccessibleContext in class JComponent

Returns:

an AccessibleJOptionPane that serves as the AccessibleContext of this AccessibleJOptionPane
