Hi all,

I use JavaHelp in my app to create a context sensitive help system. I've 
choosen to implement it by means of the "help" or "f1" key using 
HelpBroker.enableHelpKey method. This work perfectly well as long as I 
can have access to the component that has the focus.

How can I do it for JOptionPane.showXXX methods?

Example for a simple plaf chooser:

String selectedValue = (String) JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null,
         "Look & Feel to use:",
         APPNAME,
         JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE, null, lfNames, 
lfNames[currentLFIndex]);

if (selectedValue != null) {
...
{


How can I associate a HelpBroker.enableHelpKey(...) on such a pane?

Many thanks

Bart
