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.

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@Eng 2000-03-16 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" nancy.schorr@eng 2000-06-19 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. ###@###.### 2001-11-13
