How to place an integer you just inputted on the dialog box TITLE bar

Hello people of Stackoverflow, I'm trying to make a Java program that has a title bar with the inputted integer. So here's a little of my code: 

import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

public class ConvertHoursToMinutes {

public static void main(String args[]) {

    int hours;
    int minutes;


    hours=Integer.parseInt(JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null,"Enter hour: "));

    minutes=hours*60;

   JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Converted into minutes is: " +minutes,"is equivalent to",JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);


}

}

What I want to happen is that, ON THE TITLE BAR OF THE DIALOG BOX, it is default on the output that what's written is MESSAGE right? So I wanted to make it, " the number inputted by the user is equivalent to" what I have on my title bar is only "in minutes is..." please help thanks. I tried searching on Google but I can't find answers.

For example, the user entered 1.

So my title bar (i am hoping) that it should be...

1 in minutes is...

then the output goes

Solution

  • You forgot to add the variable to the String in the message box. Change your message dialog to the following:

       JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Converted into minutes is: " + minutes, hours + " is equivalent to", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);

    According to the constructor you are using, this will set the

    message: "Converted into minutes is 60" //for example
title: "is equivelant to: 1" //for example
