you could 'roll-your-own'

something like this

import javax.swing.*;

import java.awt.*;

import java.awt.event.*;

class Testing

{

int selectedIndex = -1;

JDialog dialog;

public Testing()

{

final JOptionPane optionPane = new JOptionPane("Pick a Button:");

JButton[] btns = new JButton[4];

for(int x = 0; x < btns.length; x++)

{

final int SELECTION = x;

btns[x] = new JButton(""+x);

btns[x].setToolTipText(""+x);

btns[x].addActionListener(new ActionListener(){

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae){

selectedIndex = SELECTION;

dialog.dispose();

}

});

}

optionPane.setOptions(btns);

dialog = optionPane.createDialog(null, "Pick One");

dialog.setModal(true);

dialog.setVisible(true);

if(selectedIndex > -1)

{

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"You selected index # "+selectedIndex);

}

else JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Cancelled");

System.exit(0);

}

public static void main(String[] args){new Testing();}

}

Thanks. Here the "selectedIndex" is not set correctlyIt returns the previously clicked button index if the exit button of the dialog is pressedI guess again adding listener to each of the buttons wont work perfect.Is there any other alternative?

I don't follow this?

if a button is clicked the dialog closes

if the 'X" is clicked (or esc key) the selection stays at -1, and the 'cancelled'

message is displayed

can you describe the steps to produce the problem

final JOptionPane optionPane = new JOptionPane("Pick a Button:");

JButton[] btns = new JButton[4];

for(int x = 0; x < btns.length; x++) {

final int SELECTION = x;

btns[x] = new JButton(""+x);

btns[x].setToolTipText(""+x);

btns[x].addActionListener(new ActionListener(){

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae){

selectedIndex = SELECTION;

dialog.dispose();

}

});

}
