Increasing the button size of showConfirmDialog and showMessageDialog

hi,
How to increase the size of YES_NO Button and OK Button of showConfirmDialog and showMessageDialog respectively. Now it seems to be very small width and height when we view through 1024 resolution screen.

Regards

Set "____Yes____" and "____No____" on that buttons (with _ being a blank)

zzynx

That's for the width of course

I mean

Object[] options = { " Yes ", " No " };
JOptionPane.showOptionDialog(null, "Are you sure to .... ?", "Title",
JOptionPane.DEFAULT_OPTION, JOptionPane.WARNING_MESSAGE,
null, options, options[0]);

I think it will follow the system's look and feel. So, not sure if it's a good idea to change that.

You can also get what you want by:

Font buttonFont = new Font("Ms Sans Serif", Font.BOLD, 12);

UIManager.put("Button.font", buttonFont);

Then ALL buttons get the new font; you can choose another or bigger font if you like.

;JOOP!
