I have a showConfirmDialog with options yes/no, at the moment the user can just ignore the options if they like and click the "x" to get rid of it. Is there a way to disable the "x" button? ____________ :o |

I believe you will have to write your own extension of JDialog and call setDefaultCloseOperation (or whatever its called). There's an option called DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE which makes the X button ineffective. This is from memory so I could be wrong. Alternatively, couldn't you put the dialog in a loop and only break if a proper response was obtained? ____________ |

Doesn't closing the window mean the user doesn't want anything to change? In most cases implying a 'no'?

ah you want an options dialog my opinion is that the DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE option would annoy people if they see a button they cannot press. the best way is to not use a dialog bog? [Edited on March 12, 2007 by Mezzmer] ____________ |

It's for the end of this "game" (a.k.a coursework-thing-that's-not-really-a-game) and it asks "Play again?". But i've done it now. Ooh I could submit it to full games. Or not. ____________ :o |

I hate java. Do people like, do testing and stuff in the real world? For my next assignment I have to do a testing strategy. And use something called JUnit. Maybe I don't hate java. MAYBE JUST MAYBE I hate testing. Although actually the testing is only 15% so I don't really have to do it.  But MAYBE JUST MAYBE it's assignments I hate. Oh and yes it is crap. Also I hate Eclipse. This is a rant by the way. ____________ :o |

Quote: people like, do testing and stuff in the real world? For my next assignment I have to do a testing strategy. Ha, recognisable! I have to do full 'designs' before I am actually allowed to start programming, with the 'design' being the code whole programmed out except the 'branch' methods which call no deeper nested methods. I see no other way but to reverse-engineer a finished program to a 'design' and then submit both.  Not to mention the dogmatic way you must name variables/methods/classes. Otherwise you're missing points for not sticking to the name dress code! Errr. University makes programming fun! It probably also sparks whole generations of programming-haters. I've also made a game in Java. Console mastermind, isn't that cute? And my last two program being a tree of pythagoras and a Conway's life program, stuff I've programmed before years ago. Not that I mind, it only makes it a lot quicker to do now so I can work on important things, like Fenix games! This is a little rant as well. One way or another, while the dogmatic ways there is being taught at university are bothering, I'm sure we're having a huge advantage over those who are newly introduced to programming.

Not all people have the luxury of previous programming knowledge, so some shit might seem easy. Also, that designing you say is really handy. I use it with mu Java shit as well and it does do the trick for an OO language.
