how to run JoptionPane.showMessageDialog - in the background

[itaipee]

hello

I want in the GUI to show messege - but not wait for the user confirmation for continue with the program . in other word - show the messeger, leave it open and continue

How can I do it ?

You should create a JDialog and display it in a non-modal fashion. You can do this either by creating a JOptionPane and extracting a JDialog from this (the API will tell you how) or by creating a JDialog de-novo, which is quite similar to creating a JFrame. Again, the API will show you the constructors.

You should use your own JDialog and use it as non-modal.

The easiest way is to create a JOptionPane and add it to a non-modial JDialog:

JDialog dialog = new JDialog(frame, false); // Sets its owner but makes it non-modal 
JOptionPane optionPane = new JOptionPane("Message"); // Same arguments as in JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(...)
dialog.getContentPane().add(optionPane); // Adds the JOptionPane to the dialog
dialog.pack(); // Packs the dialog so that the JOptionPane can be seen
dialog.setVisible(true); // Shows the dialog

Hope it helps.

The reason I recommended inspecting the API is that there's an even easier way of creating a JDialog from a JOptionPane, one that creates the dialog directly from the JOptionPane using its createDialog method:

    // assuming a JFrame called frame...
    JOptionPane optionPane = new JOptionPane("Message"); 
    JDialog myDialog = optionPane.createDialog(frame, "Dialog Title");
    myDialog.setModal(false);
    myDialog.setVisible(true);
