formatting text in jdialog box

Question

I have a JOptionPane:

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, text);

The text is a sting:

String text = \"Hello world.\"
         


        

Answer 1

You can pass a Component to JOptionPane in the message parameter and will use that to display your message.

Something like a JLabel or a JPanel with labels on it.

JLabel, JPanel and HTML text examples

public class TestOptionPane {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        JLabel label = new JLabel("Hello");
        label.setForeground(Color.RED);

        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, label);

        JPanel pnl = new JPanel(new GridBagLayout());
        pnl.add(createLabel("The quick"));
        pnl.add(createLabel(" brown ", Color.ORANGE));
        pnl.add(createLabel(" fox "));

        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, pnl);

        String text = "The Quick brown fox";
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, text);

    }

    public static JLabel createLabel(String text) {

        return createLabel(text, UIManager.getColor("Label.foreground"));

    }

    public static JLabel createLabel(String text, Color color) {

        JLabel label = new JLabel(text);
        label.setForeground(color);

        return label;

    }

}
