Java swing

[atomic wing]

I am doing a small swing project and what i am trying is to generate a license file on a press of a activate button. But with my current implementation the file only generates when i close the program or exit the program. I want to genereate the file while the program is running directly when the uesr enters the license key and press activate.

JOptionPane calls block the current thread until they're closed

Consider making your own UI with a JFrame and whatnot instead, if you want to do stuff in the meantime

Isnt their way around?

[tropic sky]

what do you mean by that?

[atomic wing]

i mean without making my own UI

[tropic sky]

nope

the components within the joptionpane are encapsulated; you cannot access the results until you close the pane
