Thread: JOption Pane help

Im creating a quiz game using the JOption panes for my computer programming 1 class but I cant figure out this one detail. This is what I have so far:

import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
 
public class FinalProject {
 
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    	JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Welcome to my Sports Quiz, on the next window, you will be prompted to continue.");
    	JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null, 
			"Play?", "Sports Quiz", JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION);
		//int YesNo = 1; 
		Switch (YesNo); {
		                case yes : JOptionPane.YES_OPTION: System.out.print("Good"); break;
    		                case no : JOptionPane.NO_OPTION: System.exit(0); break;
		                default: JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Invalid Response"); break;
		}
 
    }
 
 
}

I want the Yes in the Confirm Dialog to continue to the next JOption Pane, and if they click the no I want it to exit. Once I figure out how to get the confirm dialog to work I can finish the rest easily. I just can't figure this out, can anyone help me?

You need to get the return value from the showConfirmDialog method:

int answer = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null,"Play?","Sports Quiz",JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION);
 
Switch(answer)
{
     case JOptionPane.YES_OPTION:
          // yes stuff
     case JOptionPan.NO_OPTION:
          // no stuff
     default:
          // default stuff
}

Thanks, so it should look like this then? Thanks, I asked my teacher for help but she didn't know what to do. Ill be around here some and try to help out but im not that great at this. Thanks again!

import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
 
public class FinalProject {
 
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    	JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Welcome to my Sports Quiz, on the next window, you will be prompted to continue.");
    	JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null, 
			"Play?", "Sports Quiz", JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION);
int answer = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null,"Play?","Sports Quiz",JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION);
 
Switch(answer)
{
     case JOptionPane.YES_OPTION:
          // yes stuff
     case JOptionPan.NO_OPTION:
          // no stuff
     default:
          // default stuff
}
}
}

That'll show the confirm dialog twice. Also, I got lazy and put the comments in for the switch statement. You'll need actual code in there if you want it to do anything useful.

import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
 
public class FinalProject {
 
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    	JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Welcome to my Sports Quiz, on the next window, you will be prompted to continue.");
int answer = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null,"Play?","Sports Quiz",JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION);
 
Switch(answer)
{
     case JOptionPane.YES_OPTION:
          // yes stuff
     case JOptionPan.NO_OPTION:
          // no stuff
     default:
          // default stuff
}
}
}
