option pane questions

hi experts

I have two questions:

can you get an option pane with a check box in it that will affect the outcome? for example if it is checked then you save a certain part of the program and if not it saves the default..whatever..

second I need an example of an option pane that would have three buttons. yes, no, and cancel and how to know know which button was pressed and accordingly take action

thanks

For the 1st:

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class DialogBox
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
JPanel fields = new JPanel();
JLabel label = new JLabel("Some text:");
JCheckBox cb = new JCheckBox();
fields.add(label);
fields.add(cb);

String[] options = {"Yes", "No", "My Cancel"};
int input = JOptionPane.showOptionDialog(
null, // parentComponent
fields, // message
"Enter your input", // title
JOptionPane.YES_NO_CANCEL_OPTION, // optionType
JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE, // messageType
null, // icon
options, // options
options[0] // initialValue
);

if (input == 0) {
System.out.println("Yes pressed. CheckBox selected = " + cb.isSelected());
}
else if (input == 1) {
System.out.println("No pressed. CheckBox selected = " + cb.isSelected());
}
else if (input == 2) {
System.out.println("Cancel pressed. CheckBox selected = " + cb.isSelected());
}

System.exit(0);
}
}
