Description

Name: vi73552			Date: 04/04/99


It would be nice to have a convenient way to show an InputDialog with a default value already entered.

This could be done with either of the following method signatures:
JOptionPane.showInputDialog(Object message, Object default)
JOptionPane.showInputDialog(Object message, String default)


Example usage:

     String name = getLastNameUsed();
     name = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter name", name);


The default value should be selected when the dialog is shown, so that the user can type a new value to replace the default value without having to use the delete or backspace key to delete the default value first.

Use the following method:

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

EVALUATION

Yes, this would be convenient (currently the long version of showInputDialog()
must be used).

Adding two new static methods:

	showInputDialog(Object message, Object initialSelectionValue)
	showInputDialog(Component parentcomponent, Object message, 
	                Object initialSelectionValue)

Amy Fowler intends on adding some more code to this fix.  Here's an excerpt from an email from Amy:
"You can move it back to unfixed for now (I have it marked on my
todo list to go back and add the internal frame versions).
I just recommend we do whatever will be the least overhead for
all parties involved....

Aim"

I have opened a new RFE (4526682) for the internal frame version of these methods. Therefore, since the other portion of this bug was integrated some time ago, I am updating the state to integrated.
