Tabs in JOptionPane window

Re: Tabs in JOptionPane window

I think you have to use a JLabel or JTextField to do this:

JOptionPane.sho wMessageDialog( null, new JLabel(testStri ng), "TEST",
JOptionPane.INF ORMATION_MESSAG E);

Re: Tabs in JOptionPane window

Unfortantley that doesn't change the tab behavior and eliminated the
functionality of the \n (everything is now on one line)

Re: Tabs in JOptionPane window

OK,

Try passing the text as HTML. IE Wrapping some tags around it. That worked
for us by accident when we were reporting errors from an HTTP post once.

If not, then use a JTextField or JTextArea, setting no border and the
bgcolor the same as the dialog, and editable = false. These can handle tabs
for sure!
