showInputDialog prefill

Is there a way I can prefill a JOptionPane.showInputDialog()?

(User fills in from scratch by I want to put something that s/he can
edit)

the term you are looking for is "default", and yes.

String constellationName =
(String)JOptionPane.showInputDialog(
this,
"Enter unique new constellation name:",
"New Constellation",
JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE,
null /* icon */,
null /* possibilities */,
null /* default */ );

I think there is a function in that class that lets u pass an array of
components to be displayed.

Is this supposed to be a sig?  A sig. is normally
delimited by a single line containing '-- '*, followed
by a name or equivalent, then any message or
promotion such as..

=2E.this.

See my reply for an example.

Be warned that I will report you to Google for
any further posts to the comp.lang.java.* groups
where you promote your toy group without any
attempt at a correct sig.

* But note that GG posters such as you and I
are unable to post correct sig. delimiters due
to our damaged WITUN.

There are many functions that do so.  Did you try Google?  Seriously, if
you know the class name, you should be able to find what you are looking
for in the online Javadocs.  It's the best way of looking stuff up, imo.

Google for "java classname se 6" to find the latest APIs.

For example, Google "java JOptionPane.showInputDialog se 6" goes here:

<http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/a...OptionPane.html>

And you can see there are several forms of showInputDialog() that allow
you to pass various values.  The last one in particular may be of
interest to you.



static String 	showInputDialog(Component parentComponent, Object message)
Shows a question-message dialog requesting input from the
user parented to parentComponent.

message, Object initialSelectionValue)

user and parented to parentComponent.

static String 	showInputDialog(Component parentComponent, Object
message, String title, int messageType)

messageType.

static Object 	showInputDialog(Component parentComponent, Object
message, String title, int messageType, Icon icon, Object[]
selectionValues, Object initialSelectionValue)

specified.
