JOptionPane.ShowOption Dialog Help

[sabah_786]

Hey all.
Ok i've written the code below with no syntax errors. However, im struggling.
1) For Button 1 - Check Balance, I want to firstly bar out the pin number so it doesn't show. How do I do this?

2) For button 1 - I have added show input dialogs... however, following the 2 input dialogs, I want to add an option dialog and confirm dialog. But it throws the following error:

javax.swing.JOptionPane cannot be applied to (java.lang.string)

How can I add the different types of dialogs in one method? is that even possible?

Many thanks for the help in advance!!

1) For Button 1 - Check Balance, I want to firstly bar out the pin number so it doesn't show. How do I do this?

you could make your own input screens, instead of the JOptionPane standards, and use a JPasswordField instead of a JTextFieldHow can I add the different types of dialogs in one method? is that even possible?

by programming them both. yes, that is very possible

String CheckBalance = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please Enter Your Pin Number" );
if(CheckBalance != null)
JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please Enter Your Account Number" );
if(CheckBalance != null)

what exactly do you want to do here? why re-checking the value of CheckBalance? either you can use brackets around the entire part of code that should be run only if CheckBalance != null, or you should change CheckBalance's value. otherwise, re-checking is not the most effective way to work.

String CheckBalance = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please Enter Your Pin Number" );
if(CheckBalance != null)
JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please Enter Your Account Number" );
if(CheckBalance != null)

^ Ive created the cash machine interface. With the above code, the customer enters their card. They enter their pin number, followed by the account number. What i'm struggling with is s that I want to show their balance and offer them a print out of their balance/statement from a yes/no option dialog box. But I do not know how to do this straight after the above code.

So basically im asking, how can I add the different types of dialogs in one method?

So basically im asking, how can I add the different types of dialogs in one method?

like this:

public void readAndShowInput(){
String input = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null,"get input");
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, input);
}

this is one method, containing several different types of dialogs. so, just write the method like that, and you have 'm
