This shouldn't be too hard.

so yes, i listened to you guys and read through the whole API documentation for the JOptionPane.
i found how to add components to it, Jrmonkey97 (or something) already told me to do it that way but i didn't listen..

well i made an object like:

label4 = new JLabel("Check this out");
label5 = new JLable("I dont know how to add this label");
object[] test = {label4, label5};

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, test[0], "Log in", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);

so YES i managed to add that label to the JOptionpane, my only question is: how do i add multiple labels/textfields/passwordfields to that optionpane, because in the API it says that you should be able to do:

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, test[0], test[1], "log in" , JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);

but that doesnt work, it gives me this error:
The method showMessageDialog(Component, Object, String, int, Icon) in the type JOptionPane is not applicable for the arguments (null, Object, Object, String, int)


so yeah, if anyone would be able to tell me how to add more components from that array in a JOptionpane, that would be amazing! :)

thanks in advance

What exactly are you trying to do? Are you looking to implement a login, with username and password?

Straight from the API documentation:

messageA 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.

ComponentThe Component is displayed in the dialog.

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

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

Carefully read what it has to say if you pass an array of Objects ...

You dont need to specify and index, just pass the array in and it will recursively go through the array.

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, test[0], test[1], "log in" , JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);

//becomes:

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, test, "log in" , JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);

ALSO you have miss spelt JLabel as JLable you might want to change that
