Class Dialog

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Dialog
All Implemented Interfaces:
Adaptable
Direct Known Subclasses:
ColorDialog, FontDialog, MessageBox

public abstract class Dialog
extends java.lang.Object
implements Adaptable

This class is the abstract superclass of the classes that represent the built in platform dialogs. A Dialog typically contains other widgets that are not accessible. A Dialog is not a Widget.

This class can also be used as the abstract superclass for user-designed dialogs. Such dialogs usually consist of a Shell with child widgets.

Note: The modality styles supported by this class are treated as HINTs, because not all are supported by every subclass on every platform. If a modality style is not supported, it is "upgraded" to a more restrictive modality style that is supported. For example, if PRIMARY_MODAL is not supported by a particular dialog, it would be upgraded to APPLICATION_MODAL. In addition, as is the case for shells, the window manager for the desktop on which the instance is visible has ultimate control over the appearance and behavior of the instance, including its modality.

Styles:
APPLICATION_MODAL, PRIMARY_MODAL, SYSTEM_MODAL
Events:
(none)

Note: Only one of the styles APPLICATION_MODAL, PRIMARY_MODAL, and SYSTEM_MODAL may be specified.

Constructor Detail

Dialog

public Dialog(Shell parent)
Constructs a new instance of this class given only its parent.

Parameters:
parent - a shell which will be the parent of the new instance
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException -
  • ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the parent is null
SWTException -
  • ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the parent

Dialog

public Dialog(Shell parent,
              int style)
Constructs a new instance of this class given its parent and a style value describing its behavior and appearance.

The style value is either one of the style constants defined in class SWT which is applicable to instances of this class, or must be built by bitwise OR'ing together (that is, using the int "|" operator) two or more of those SWT style constants. The class description lists the style constants that are applicable to the class. Style bits are also inherited from superclasses.

Parameters:
parent - a shell which will be the parent of the new instance
style - the style of dialog to construct
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException -
  • ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the parent is null
SWTException -
  • ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the parent

Method Detail

getParent

public Shell getParent()
Returns the receiver's parent, which must be a Shell or null.

Returns:
the receiver's parent
Throws:
SWTException -
  • ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
  • ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver

getStyle

public int getStyle()
Returns the receiver's style information.

Note that, the value which is returned by this method may not match the value which was provided to the constructor when the receiver was created.

Returns:
the style bits
Throws:
SWTException -
  • ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
  • ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver

getText

public java.lang.String getText()
Returns the receiver's text, which is the string that the window manager will typically display as the receiver's title. If the text has not previously been set, returns an empty string.

Returns:
the text
Throws:
SWTException -
  • ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
  • ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver

setText

public void setText(java.lang.String string)
Sets the receiver's text, which is the string that the window manager will typically display as the receiver's title, to the argument, which must not be null.

Parameters:
string - the new text
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException -
  • ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the text is null
SWTException -
  • ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
  • ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver

getAdapter

public <T> T getAdapter(java.lang.Class<T> adapter)
Implementation of the Adaptable interface.

IMPORTANT: This method is not part of the RWT public API. It is marked public only so that it can be shared within the packages provided by RWT. It should never be accessed from application code.

Specified by:
getAdapter in interface Adaptable
Parameters:
adapter - the lookup class
Returns:
an object that can be cast to the given class or null if there is no adapter associated with the given class.

prepareOpen

protected void prepareOpen()

checkSubclass

protected void checkSubclass()

checkOperationMode

protected void checkOperationMode()

runEventLoop

protected void runEventLoop(Shell shell)
