Displaying Text in a Dialog Box
The programs presented thus far display output in the command window. Many apps use windows or dialog boxes (also called dialogs) to display output. Web browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari and Opera display web pages in their own windows. E-mail programs allow you to type and read messages in a window. Typically, dialog boxes are windows in which programs display important messages to users. Class JOptionPane provides prebuilt dialog boxes that enable programs to display windows containing messages—such windows are called message dialogs. Figure 3.12 displays the String "Welcome to Java" in a message dialog.
