Hi Guys,
I am making a rental car program that is supposed to print out the customers information in one single box. The problem is that mine is showing up in mulitiple boxes. My teacher suggested that I make 2 strings to have the information show up in JOptionPane.showMessageDialog().

This is what the API documentation has to say about the single 'message' parameter for your JOptionPane:

A descriptive message to be placed in the dialog box. In the most common usage, message is just a String or String constant. However, the type of this parameter is actually Object. Its interpretation depends on its type:

Object[]
An array of objects is interpreted as a series of messages (one per object) arranged in a vertical stack. The interpretation is recursive -- each object in the array is interpreted according to its type.

Component
The Component is displayed in the dialog.

Icon
The Icon is wrapped in a JLabel and displayed in the dialog.

others
The object is converted to a String by calling its toString method. The result is wrapped in a JLabel and displayed.

So wrap all your information in another JComponent (or in an Object[]) and you're in business.

kind regards,

Jos

I forgot to add the code tags sorry guys!! I will try your suggestion about wrapping text and then adding it to a JLabel. Any other suggestions would be helpful though :)
