You want to create your own style of dialog boxes?

You can try creating your own Dialog function with a JFrame and just call it. You can have as may pictures you like and many labels.

I hope i shared some ligth into your question

Search the Google my friend. There are lots of examples.

Suns' official website is a good choice too.

What? No reason. JDialog can be used exactly as if it were a JFrame (minus the min/max and maybe some other window functions). There is no reason to use JFrame and attempt to control modality and everything else inherit in a Dialog yourself. Dialogs are not just JOptionPane.

I think Eku is talking about calling a JFrame within a JOptionPane. Because I agreed with masijade too, with the following.

Are you talking about JDialog or JOptionPane? Can you clarify it little more.

Did you go to that tutorial?

I posted that one because it deals with JDialog, not JOptionPane. Sun's tutorials, are now, unfortunately, solely concerned with JOptionPane, and just give references to JDialog, but don't actually demonstrate anything with it.

Sir i got some code from this forum.Code is here

Code:

import java.awt.* ;
import java.awt.Image;
 
import javax.swing.* ;
 
public class JFrameBg extends JDialog{
	
	public JFrameBg() {
		super() ;
		setTitle( "Background Image on JFrame or JDialog or JApplet" ) ;
		setDefaultCloseOperation( EXIT_ON_CLOSE ) ;
		setContentPane( new MyPanel() ) ;
		getContentPane().add( new JLabel( "It is a Label" , new ImageIcon( "D:/Personal/Shilu/teddy,bmp" ) , JLabel.CENTER ) ) ;
		setSize( 400 , 300 ) ;
		setVisible( true ) ;
	}
	
	public class MyPanel extends JPanel {
		private Image img ;
		public MyPanel() {
			setLayout( new BorderLayout() ) ;
			img = new ImageIcon( "D:/Personal/Shilu/rose.jpg" ).getImage() ;
			if( img == null ) {
				System.out.println( "Image is null" );
				System.exit( 1 ) ;
			}
			if( img.getHeight(this) <= 0 || img.getWidth( this ) <= 0 ) {
				System.out.println( "Image width or height must be +ve" );
				System.exit( 2 ) ;
			}
		}
		public void drawBackground( Graphics g ) {
			int w = getWidth() ;
			int h = getHeight() ;
			int iw = img.getWidth( this ) ;
			int ih = img.getHeight( this ) ;
			for( int i = 0 ; i < w ; i+=iw ) {
				for( int j = 0 ; j < h ; j+= ih ) {
					g.drawImage( img , i , j , this ) ;
				}
			}
		}
		protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
			super.paintComponent(g);
			drawBackground( g ) ;
		}
	}
	
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		new JFrameBg() ;
	}

It is working fine but i need to add more label on this Dialog.

So? I thought your question was simply on how to use a JDialog, not how to use a background picture.

And, judgiung by your next post, you're not even asking about that, but rather, how to add more labels.

So what, exactly, is it you're having problems with?

[Eranga]

Think about some layout and add components there first.

Go through this entire tutorial, thoroughly, as you seem to have no idea how to use Swing.

Except that you already have parts of it, and according to your last post, need only to know how to add labels to that, which is entirely different than "the first post" as that post is essentially asking "How do I use JDialog?", and you're last post is, "How do I add additional JLabels to a JPanel?".

Completely different things. Anyway, go through the Swing tutorials.

Yes, it's better to go through this link and have an idea.

At the minute, JavaLerner, there are different layouts you can use. Each has strength and weaknesses, depends on the situation you can use the best one. Better to read about them too.

You, seemingly, do not understand the code you already have, so how is giving you more going to help?

Go through the tutorials and learn alittle bit about how to use Layouts, Windows, and Components in general, then try to make this change.
