Re: Can JOptionPane use a MaskFormatter for data input

Thanks Michael,
I did try to go through the API. But I guess just starting out in Java
and Swing, I didn't fully understand what the documentation was
informing me of what I could do.

In fact, this part (message parameter) of the API is a bit confusing.

One could interprete "The Component is displayed in the dialog" so that the Component is just rendered. In that case the example wouldn't work.

That's why I've written "(ab)using".

Luckily the component is not just rendered. It is added to the message area of the dialog.

Bye
Michael
