JPasswordField Question

[Hayden]

Hi there, I was wondering how, well if I could, use a JPasswordField with JDialog and JOptionPane? I've tried dialog.add(pass wordField) and it compiles, but it looks kinda funky... o_O

Thanks for any help.

Thanks for any help.

Did you try it then?
P.S Would you by any chance be Matthew Hayden the cricketer?

Yup I tried it and the field was covered up by a blank (white) pane with a input box without the echo characters. Do I need to set the JOptionPane.set WantsInput() to false? Or... :S

And nope. Just a dude. :P

Use a JDialog or even JFrame and make sure you lay your components nicely using a LayoutManager

Aight, thanks for the help.

The showOptionMetho d of JOptionPane can allow you to add components to the dialog. Read more about JOptionPane if you dont need to code the whole dialog from scratch.
