I need some sort of pop up window, but which one?!

[dav3]

Hi folks, I am wrapping up a project that has taken me two months to complete. The last obstacle I have to face is finding a way to print something out to the user.

I want this to be a pop up window of some kind (JoptionPane or something similiar). But here is the problem, the information displayed in this result set is not of a static nature. It is the results from a query I have made to my database (Access if that helps).

I am just not sure of a way to get my result set into a swing element (doesnt have to be swing but that is all I know as far as GUI stuff goes and i don't know it very well).

I am not looking for anything extremely complex, just a simple pop up window that displays the results of my query.


PS. the query results will be a series of strings ex. "Yahoo Incorporated"


Any nudges in the right direction are appreciated.

For a series of strings, a JOptionPane isn't probably the best idea, you might want to use a JScrollPanel on a JFrame to ensure you can view all of the strings.

A Canvas with a Graphics2D environment can work too, it's just (probably) a little more complicated, iirc.

Thanks for the reply i messed around with a couple of things, but at this stage in the development of the project I think I am just going to output the results to a txt file (which actually works out better).
