Method Detail

setDefaultComponent

public static void setDefaultComponent(java.awt.Component c)

Set the default java.awt.Component which is used if null is passed in for an argument on any of the public methods. If this is not set, and null is passed in later, Swing will still produce the JDialog, but it may not be in reference to the proper "parent" Component.

                                  java.lang.Object message,

Generic implementation of a yes/no dialog box, used by other methods of this class (which simply supply the necessary text and title)
