Simple Message Box -- Do I have to create a new class?

[feodosij]

Hi --
I have a Java app that shows a print dialog box so that the user can change the printer settings. Right before this pops up, I need to put a message box that reminds the user of what settings they need to use. Is there a simple way to do this (like the alert() in javascript)... or will I have to create a new class & create the message box myself?
I'd appreciate any advice -- thanks!

You should probably go ahead and write the class you need. It is something that you'll want to reuse in future programs, so make it general purpose and you'll thank yourself in the future.

Checkout JOptionPane.showMessageDialog()

Thanks -- it looks like the JOptionPane.showMessageDialog() is what I need because this just needs to be a short little message with an OK button.
Thanks!
