public class Dialog
extends Page
implements ContentPane, PageSupport.IDialog, DialogSupport

Provides support for Popups. This class extends Page giving a blank panel on which you can create custom dialogs. The dialog can be shown as a modal dialog which will block execution of the client code till the dialog is dismissed.

The Dialog is a form of page, however it contains a panel to which all the children are added. The panel is setup with a null layout as is normal and the pack method should be used to calculate the size of the dialog.

The Dialog is then added to a border layout contained in either a window or a dialog. This parent also contains the window decorations

showDialog

public int showDialog(java.lang.Object owner,
                      java.lang.String title,
                      java.awt.Point location)

Shows the dialog. This method calls showDialog( this ) after setting the title, location and after setting the dialog to a size just large enough to display all its content

Parameters:

owner - The container to which the dialog is added.

title - The dialog title/caption

location - The location on screen to show the dialog

Returns:

the returnValue

showDialog

public int showDialog(java.lang.Object cbParent,
                      java.lang.String cb)

Shows the dialog. For modal dialog the showDialog method blocks till the dialog is dismissed or hidden. This method provides an alternative that does not block execution of the calling thread but instead calls back a method specified as an argument once the dialog has been dismissed. In some VMs such as the Microsoft VM it is not possible to gain access to the EventQueue so as to implement blocking unless the code is loaded from a signed CAB file. If this situtaion occurs an exception is thrown and a non-blocking strategy is used. When the dialog is shown it will attempt to gain focus and upon dismissal focus will be returned to the component that had focus prior to display of the dialog. A special case occurs when the dialog is displayed in response to a focus event handler. The focus event will be processed as normal, allowing transfer of focus but focus handler invocations related to the showing and hiding of the dialog will be suppressed.

Parameters:

cbParent - The parent/owner for purposes of a callback.

cb - The name of a callback method in the parent (or null) to be invoked when the dialog is dismissed.

showDialog

public int showDialog(java.lang.Object owner)

Shows the dialog. For modal dialog this method blocks till the dialog is dismissed or hidden. A subclass can set the returnValue member to indicate the status of the dialog upon dismissal. When the dialog is shown it will attempt to gain focus and upon dismissal focus will be returned to the component that had focus prior to display of the dialog. A special case occurs when the dialog is displayed in response to a focus event handler. The focus event will be processed as normal, allowing transfer of focus but focus handler invocations related to the showing and hiding of the dialog will be suppressed.

Specified by:

showDialog in interface DialogSupport

Parameters:

owner - The container to which the dialog is added.

Returns:

the returnValue

setSize

public void setSize(int width,
                    int height)

Set the size of the dialog and centres it within the parent.

Specified by:

setSize in interface ILayerManager

Specified by:

setSize in interface PageSupport

Overrides:

setSize in class java.awt.Component

Parameters:

width - The new width

height - The new height

See Also:

#getSize, #setBounds

setLocation

public void setLocation(java.awt.Point location)

Set the location of the dialog window

Overrides:

setLocation in class java.awt.Component

Parameters:

location - the point on screen at which the dialog is to be shown.

setLocation

public void setLocation(int x,
                        int y)

Set the location of the dialog window

Specified by:

setLocation in interface PageSupport

Overrides:

setLocation in class java.awt.Component

Parameters:

x - the x coordinate, or -1 for ignore/default location, -2 for centered on screen

y - the y coordinate

getFocusComponent

protected java.awt.Component getFocusComponent(java.awt.Container cont)

Gets the component that owns the focus.

Parameters:

cont - the container to be checked for focus.

Returns:

the focus component or null if the container does not have a component that owns the input focus.

getReturnObject

public java.lang.Object getReturnObject()

Provides access to an object representing the state of the dialog when it was closed. It is the responsibility of the subclass to set this value when it closes.

Returns:

the return object

wasMouseClicked

public boolean wasMouseClicked()

A utility method used to determine if the last event corrseponds to a mouse click. The notion of a click is extended by assuming the a mouse press and release within a single component constitutes a click even if not at the same coordinate. A MouseEvent.MOUSE_CLICKED is only triggered when the press and release are at the same location and this is often inadequate for end-user interaction.

Specified by:

wasMouseClicked in interface PageSupport

Overrides:

wasMouseClicked in class Page

Returns:

true if the mouse was clicked

showModalWindow

public void showModalWindow(java.awt.Component contents)

Show the dialog ina modal way

Parameters:

contents - The dialog's content
