Gui to JOptionPane Sub-Menu

[kevinboey]

Just to check with u guys I got a GUI Menu with few selections e.g. "Computer" , "Storage", "Transactions", "Exit" . When i click on "Computer" a JOptionPane Sub-Menu will pop up and i could add or sell . but when i want to go back to the Gui Menu i could not click on other options e.g. "Storage" while the JOptionPane Sub-Menu is still open and was force to click cancel to un-run then i can click on the "Storage" therefore, the things i have added earlier was gone.:confused::confused::confused:

Is there anyway i can switch from GUI menu to sub-Menu and back to GUI Menu without un-run it because if i click cancel to un-run all the things added will be gone ......appreciate if anyone can help me..... Thank u Very much.....

Did you read the Java DOC about JOptionPane?

JOptionPane (Java 2 Platform SE v1.4.2)

Read on all the constructors, then you can find the solution.

Okay, did you find the JOptionPane initialization in your code? Can you post it here?

I understand what you are doing, but it doesn't sound like it will do what you want. JOptionPane is designed to block Swing processing as long as it is displayed, and that is what it is doing.

JMenu allows you to create sub-menus easily. See the tutorial.
