Class BasicOptionPaneUI

javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicOptionPaneUI

Direct Known Subclasses:: SynthOptionPaneUI

public class BasicOptionPaneUI extends OptionPaneUI

Provides the basic look and feel for a JOptionPane. BasicMessagePaneUI provides a means to place an icon, message and buttons into a Container. Generally, the layout will look like:

       ------------------
       | i | message    |
       | c | message    |
       | o | message    |
       | n | message    |
       ------------------
       |     buttons    |
       |________________|

icon is an instance of Icon that is wrapped inside a JLabel. The message is an opaque object and is tested for the following: if the message is a Component it is added to the Container, if it is an Icon it is wrapped inside a JLabel and added to the Container otherwise it is wrapped inside a JLabel.

The above layout is used when the option pane's ComponentOrientation property is horizontal, left-to-right. The layout will be adjusted appropriately for other orientations.

The Container, message, icon, and buttons are all determined from abstract methods.
