}

With a message pop-up, there's no return value.

import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class MessagePopUps {
public static void main(String[] a) {
JFrame parent = new JFrame();
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(parent, "Printing complete");
JOptionPane.showInternalMessageDialog(parent, "Printing complete");

//
}
}

The return value signifies which button the user picked. The returned value is one of the integer constants:
YES_OPTION, NO_OPTION, or CANCEL_OPTION

import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class ConfirmPopUps {
public static void main(String[] a) {
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
int result = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(frame, "Continue printing?");
// JOptionPane.showInternalConfirmDialog(desktop, "Continue printing?");
System.out.println(JOptionPane.CANCEL_OPTION == result);
}
}

The return value is either what the user typed in a text field (a String) or what the user picked from a list of
options (an Object).

import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class InputPopUps {
public static void main(String[] a) {
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
Object result = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(frame, "Enter printer name:");
}
}

System.out.println(result);

import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class BigValueJOptionpaneDialog {
public static void main(String[] a) {
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
String bigList[] = new String[30];
for (int i = 0; i < bigList.length; i++) {
bigList[i] = Integer.toString(i);
}
JOptionPane.showInputDialog(frame, "Pick a printer", "Input", JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE,
null, bigList, "Titan");
}
}

With the option pop-up, the return value is an int. If the button labels are manually specified with a non-null argument, th
integer represents the selected button position.

Object iconArray[] = { greenIcon, redIcon };

}
}

The message argument not only supports displaying an array of strings, but it also can support an array of any type of
object. If the element is an Icon, the icon is placed within a JLabel,
