TextInputDialog is a subclass of the Dialog class. It is used to display and wait for entering a text content by users.

If you don't set Header Text, Title, Content Text, and Text Input, the following image is a default TextInputDialog:

** Code **

TextInputDialog dialog = new TextInputDialog("Tran");

dialog.setTitle("o7planning");
dialog.setHeaderText("Enter your name:");
dialog.setContentText("Name:");

Optional<String> result = dialog.showAndWait();

});

Use the following code snippet, if you don't want to display Header region:

dialog.setHeaderText(null)
