Why can't I get the MessageDialog to show?

Posted 23 October 2010 - 04:25 AM

I cannot display a Dialog!! I have been trying everything I can, I have imported javax.swing.* at the top and I am trying to use either this
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(frame,"You finished the game!", "Winner!");

or this
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "You finished the game!", "Winner!");

This is being called somewhere in the ActionPerformed method. I am getting this error:

cannot find symbol method showMessageDialog(javax.swing.JFrame,java.lang.String,java.lang.String)

Can anybody see what I'm doing wrong here?

Is This A Good Question/Topic? 0

There appears to be no showMessageDialog() method which takes three arguments. You probably want this one, which has 4.

Ah thanks so much, silly mistake ^^

I thought that if you left one of the parameters blank it would use the default option.
