Quick question...

Hey,Is it possible to have a JTextArea in a JOptionPane?Basically im looking for a way to get input from a user but the input is quite big, so needs more than one line to input.

I think use a JDialog and put an JTextArea on it.

Try it out. If it won't work, my standarddialog.java class (google for it. I'm on the first page, the one with package tjacobs) can definitely do this.

what won't work? JTextArea in a JOptionPane? Have you no imagination? This works for me...

String msg = "Tell me your deepest, darkest secret:";

JTextArea ta = new JTextArea(8, 35);

JScrollPane jsp = new JScrollPane(ta);

int res = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(f, new Object[]{msg, jsp},

"I wanna know...", JOptionPane.OK_CANCEL_OPTION, JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);

if(res == JOptionPane.OK_OPTION) {

System.out.println(ta.getText());

}
