JOption Dialog and color...

[sanna]

Hi,

In a part of my program I am openeing an error warnign as following:

if (myVal != yourVal) {

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"WARNING: \n MyVal does NOT
yourVal.","Error Dialog",JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);

}

But I need that message "WARNING: \n MyVal does NOT yourVal" printed
out in red color. and currently its printing in black. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Use HTML.

Parts of Swing allow you to use HTML. I haven't tried it with
JOptionPane, but I suppose it's worth a shot.

<code>
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"<font color='#FF0000'>WARNING: \n MyVal
does NOT yourVal.</font>","Error Dialog",JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
</code>

Alternatively, you could manually create a dialog, and put in a JLabel
set to whatever color you want. See

Or
UIManager.put("OptionPane.messageForeground", Color.RED);
After using that you'd better set Color back to its original.

Or ...

Using
UIManager.put("OptionPane.messageForeground", java.awt.Color.red);

I get message: Cannot resolve symbol
symbol: variable UIManager

Do I need to defien it somewhere?
Using html chanegs the color but font size and style is totally
changed from other dialog messages......
Which looks a bit funny....
any suggestions?

Thanks a lot!

You'd better to use HTML, but
javax.swing.UIManager

You need this import

import javax.swing.UIManager;
