dialog box

[ilovechicken]

i was just wondering if anyone can help me out creating a dialog box that allows the user to enter a string (ie. their name) and then closes when they are done

Java:

String s = (String)JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null,"What is your name?",                     "Answer me these questions three!",                     JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE,                     null,                     null,                     "ilovechicken");        System.out.println(s);

There you go Of course, swing must be imported for JOptionPane to be found.

swing must be imported? is that like a
import swing.*;
or something?

javax.swing.*, actually.

Check out the API reference at java.sun.com.
