Any Java programmers out there? Need a little help

Akrovah

I am writing a program for class using JOptionPane input and output windows. Wenever I have to ask a yes or No question I have to have the user type Y or N.

What I would like to do is have a window that has Yes and No buttons so my program is mostly point and click and I can get rid of the data validation loops.

If anyone knows how i can do this with JOptionPane the help would be greatly appreciated.

Does [URL=http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/dialog.html#features]this tutorial[/URL] help? Specifically, look at "showOptionDialog".

Akrovah

I think that might work, thank you bobo

Any time. Sun's tutorial is actually pretty good, though sometimes hard to use as a reference.

Report back on how it goes.

Use Python :)

Woo! Python!

If I knew Java, I would be coding tiny applets for I2P right now... but regrettably I don't... and the learning curve is proving *not* as smooth as I hoped.

Biggles

Java's learning curve not smooth? Do you know C?

sleepy_shadow

I do... even if I have mainly been using ordinary C, with only little bits of C++ included.

I guess I should take a step backward... currently abandon the experiments with Kaffe... and try with Sun Java (unfortunately proprietary, but wider used -- hopefully more likely to behave in predictable fashion).

Or perhaps I should simply check if the Kaffe people have published a new stable release (so I might get it installed properly). Could have occurred by now (last downloaded from CVS in November).

I'm trying to learn Java at the moment...but it takes time as allways. :(

Akrovah

This is something I'm going to have to get into as well. I know the trick is layers (like Photoshop) and looped anims.

You know what else, I have started to see a lot of commercials done in Flash (probably produced in a 3D app and converted over). I wouldn't think something like that would come from Shockwave/Director, but then what do I know...
