JDK-4201551 - JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(...) should (allow) open(ing) non-resizable dialog
Description

Name: vi73552			Date: 03/11/99

=20
A 'setResizable(boolean resizable)' method for JOptionPane would
be nice.=20

I've tried calling setMaximumSize and setMinimumSize=20
from the superclass Component with the same Dimension value,=20
but this doesn't seem to work.

Invoking 'setMinimumSize' on an instance of JOptionPane does
not prevent the user from resizing the pane to a smaller
dimension.

java version "1.2"
Classic VM (build JDK-1.2-V, native threads)

We are using JOption Pane to display error messages
as well as confirmation boxes.
Usually message boxes are not resizable
Hence we feel that JOption Pane should not be resizable

EVALUATION User resizing is controlled by java.awt.Dialog's resizable property, which defaults to true. It does seem like we ought to initialize it to false for option dialogs. Note that if a program wishes to control the value of this property, they can invoke JOptionPane's createDialog() method (which builds the necessary dialog) and then invoke setResizable() as appropriate on that dialog before showing it. amy.fowler@Eng 2000-03-10
