Problems with resizeble JOptionPane/JDialog

[RC]

I created a popup with JOptionPane, it works fine except I can NOT
resize the popup window.

Here are the codes:

JPanel myPanel = new JPanel();

JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null, myPanel,
"Dialog",
JOptionPane.OK_CANCEL_OPTION,
JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE, null));

Again this works fine except I can NOT resize the popup window
I need to resize the popup dialog window!

I changed in different way
Here are the codes:

JPanel myPanel = new JPanel();

JOptionPane optionPane = new JOptionPane(myPanel, // Object message
JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE, // messageType
JOptionPane.OK_CANCEL_OPTION); // optionType

JDialog dialog = new JDialog(new JFrame("Chart Manager"),
"Set Chart Properties",
false);

dialog.setContentPane(optionPane);

Now I can resize the popup dialog window
But the new problem come up. When I changed (resize) the
popup dialog window to SMALLER, those OK, Cancel buttons
are gone (disappear)! Order for me see those OK, Cancel
buttons, I need to resize the popup dialog window back to
ORIGAINL size or BIGGER.

Can anyone out there help me make a popup dialog window
resizeble AND keep the OK, Cancel buttons visible in ALL
time?

Thank Q very much in advance!

There is no need to post this question to three newsgroups.

There is no need to shout. Your problem is not earth shakening.

Layout your own JDialog.

I asked *exactly* the same question just a few days ago and got a good
answer. You can use Google Groups to look it up.

I'm no expert but it seems to me that putting a non-resizable component
inside a resizable one (and without a scrollpane) is a sure recipe for
the symptoms you report.

You need to create a JOptionDialog without using the static showXXX
methods. Then you can apply an instance method to make the dialog resizable.
