public class CheckBoxBox

extends javax.swing.JDialog

Seemingly oddly like the class name, this class creates a dialog box in which the user can select from a list of checkboxes.

The list of available options is created from the toString() methods of the Object array, options. The description is best kept to a single line, as the JCheckBoxes that show up have problems with multiple line displays.

If the toString() method of the object passed in is messy and gives garbage instead of useful checkbox information, simply format the text the way you want it into Strings before passing the Strings in... The toString() method will be called on the strings, and it'll look as neat as you format it.
