Custom title on JOptionPane message dialogs

Question

When working with JOptionPane in Java, how do I make a custom title on a message dialog? I currently have:

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "You won the game in " + tries + " tries!");

I tried to add another parameter, and it gave me an error. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Try this

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "You won the game in 7 tries!", "my title", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);

You need to supply the message type (4th param) so swing know which default icon to display.
