Information icon

Question

I would like to make use in a normal JDialog of the information icon provided by the JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE. Is it possible?

Answer 1

Currently in the JOptionPane source code (rather in its UI, actually), this is done by retrieving this property:

return (Icon)DefaultLookup.get(optionPane, this, "OptionPane.informationIcon");

Outside of a UI code, though, you simply need to call:

UIManager.getIcon("OptionPane.informationIcon")

Note however that the icon returned depends on the current Look & Feel.

Out of curiosity, the other resources are:

• "OptionPane.errorIcon"
• "OptionPane.warningIcon"
• "OptionPane.questionIcon"
