Is it possible to add a web link to a JDialog

you could use a JEditoPane, and add that to your dialog

Hi cmaypop,

You can invent something like this:


import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.image.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
import java.text.*;

public class LinkableDialog extends JDialog implements Runnable, ActionListener {
  JLabel jl = new JLabel("www.google.com");
  public void init() {
    addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
      public void windowClosing(WindowEvent we) {
        System.exit(0);
      }
    });
    jl.setForeground(Color.BLUE);
    add(jl);
    pack();
    center(this);
    jl.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
      public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
        try {
          Runtime.getRuntime().exec("explorer http://"+jl.getText());
        } catch(IOException ioe) {
          ioe.printStackTrace();
        }
      }
    });
  }
  public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
   
  }
  public void run() {
    init();
    setVisible(true);
  }
  public void center(Component c) {
    Dimension dim = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
    setLocation((dim.width - c.getWidth()) / 2, (dim.height - c.getHeight()) / 2);
  }
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new LinkableDialog());
  }
}


but this works only on windows with explorer installed
