JPasswordTextField using JOptionPane

[Gajesh Tripathi]

I want to use JPasswordTextField in JOptionPane.showInputMessage(...) dialog instead of textfield component.
I think that It may be possible using createDialog() Method of JOptionPane OR OptionPaneUI! but how?

that is I want to use an Password Dialog Box like Input Dialog of JOptionPane.

Plese tell me that how can I do this?

Thanks in advance...

Use JDialog directly and create your own.

1. There's a Swing section where this should have been posted.
2. There's no class called JPasswordTextField in the standard API.
3. Any component can be passed as the "message" argument to showMessageDialog.

Yes, I too agree with you. I must fillow this rule in future.

SORRY! there is a class JPasswordField in JAVA API that I wanted to mention.

Use JDialog directlys and create your own.

I had that idea in my mind but I put this question b'coz I just wanted to know the concepts of "JOptionPane component settings" and "how to use OptionPaneUI"

I created my own showPasswordDialog(...) function which is attached. Rename the MyPasswordFieldText.txt to MyPasswordFieldText.java and run it.

Thanks, but my purpose is not soved using this method.
e.g.

String password=JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null,new JPasswordField(20));
System.out.println(password);

then I will not get password which will be typed in password field....kindly update my further knowledge regarding passing component as message.
What is the use of it?

import javax.swing.*;

public class MyPass2 {
   public MyPass2() {
      
   }

   private static void createAndShowUI() {
      JPasswordField pField = new JPasswordField(10);
      JPanel pPanel = new JPanel();
      pPanel.add(new JLabel("Please Enter Password: "));
      pPanel.add(pField);
      
      int result = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null, pPanel);
      if (result == JOptionPane.OK_OPTION) {
         System.out.println(String.valueOf(pField.getPassword()));
      }
   }

   public static void main(String[] args) {
      java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
         public void run() {
            createAndShowUI();
         }
      });
   }
}

Thanks for told me the uses of passing controls to JOptionPane.show*(...) functions.

I modified your code as below:-

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.GridBagLayout;
import java.awt.GridBagConstraints;

public class MyPass2 {
   public MyPass2() {
      
   }

   private static void createAndShowUI() {
   	JPasswordField pField = new JPasswordField(20);
      GridBagLayout gridbag = new GridBagLayout();
        GridBagConstraints c = new GridBagConstraints();
        c.insets.top = 4;
        c.insets.bottom = 4;
        JPanel pPanel = new JPanel(gridbag);
        pPanel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(10, 20, 5, 20));
        c.anchor = GridBagConstraints.WEST;
      pPanel.add(new JLabel("Please Enter Password: "),c);
      c.gridy=1;
      pPanel.add(pField,c);
      int result = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null, pPanel,"Password",JOptionPane.OK_CANCEL_OPTION);
      if (result == JOptionPane.OK_OPTION) {
         System.out.println(String.valueOf(pField.getPassword()));
      }
   }

   public static void main(String[] args) {
      java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
         public void run() {
            createAndShowUI();
         }
      });
   }
}

Only problem is that default focus is OK button istead of JPasswordField;
If we add following lines then we will get focus properly:-

JOptionPane jp=new JOptionPane(pPanel,JOptionPane.OK_CANCEL_OPTION);
pPanel.requestFocusInWindow();
jp.createDialog().setVisible(true);

but we need to write action listener for ok button to find out wheather OK button is pressed or not?

please modify my above code such that I will get default focus to password field.
