I am trying to print in scrollable dialog box using a void print() function but I can't seem to figure this out. Is it possible to use the function as is?
rslt = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(this,
tempPanel,
univ.printList,
JOptionPane.OK_CANCEL_OPTION,
JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);
There are probably a few dozen ways you could do something like this...
Start by taking a look at How to Make Dialogs for more details
The following just creates a html
based list of the items...
public void showProfessorList(){
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(25);
sb.append("<html>");
for (int i=0; i < professorList.size(); i++){
sb.append(professorList.get(i).getName())).append("<br>");
}
JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(this,
new JScrollPane(new JLabel(sb.toString),
"Behold",
JOptionPane.OK_CANCEL_OPTION,
JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);
}
You could get fancy and use a JList
instead, but that comes down to your needs...
