All Implemented Interfaces:

ImageObserver , MenuContainer , Serializable , Accessible , RootPaneContainer , WindowConstants

public class JDialog
extends Dialog
implements WindowConstants, Accessible, RootPaneContainer

The main class for creating a dialog window. You can use this class to create a custom dialog, or invoke the many class methods in JOptionPane to create a variety of standard dialogs. For information about creating dialogs, see The Java Tutorial section How to Make Dialogs .

The JDialog component contains a JRootPane as its only child. The contentPane should be the parent of any children of the JDialog. As a conveniance add and its variants, remove and setLayout have been overridden to forward to the contentPane as necessary. This means you can write:

       dialog.add(child);
 

Please see the JRootPane documentation for a complete description of the contentPane, glassPane, and layeredPane components.

In a multi-screen environment, you can create a JDialog on a different screen device than its owner. See Frame for more information.

Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeans ^TM has been added to the java.beans package. Please see XMLEncoder .

Called by the constructors to init the JDialog properly.

createRootPane

protected JRootPane createRootPane()

Called by the constructor methods to create the default rootPane.

processWindowEvent

protected void processWindowEvent(WindowEvent e)

Handles window events depending on the state of the defaultCloseOperation property.

Overrides:

processWindowEvent in class Window

Parameters:

e - the window event

See Also:

setDefaultCloseOperation(int)

setDefaultCloseOperation

public void setDefaultCloseOperation(int operation)

Sets the operation that which will happen by default when the user initiates a "close" on this dialog. You must specify one of the following choices:

The possible choices are:

• DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE (defined in WindowConstants): Don't - do anything; not do anything - require the program to handle the operation in the windowClosing method of a registered WindowListener object.
• HIDE_ON_CLOSE (defined in WindowConstants): Automatically - automatically hide the dialog after invoking any registered WindowListener objects. objects
• DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE (defined in WindowConstants): Automatically - automatically hide and dispose the dialog after invoking any registered WindowListener objects. objects

The value is set to HIDE_ON_CLOSE by default. Changes to the value of this property cause the firing of a property change event, with property name "defaultCloseOperation".

Note : When the last displayable window within the Java virtual machine (VM) is disposed of, the VM may terminate. See AWT Threading Issues for more information.

Parameters:

operation - the operation which should be performed when the user closes the dialog

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if defaultCloseOperation value isn't one of the above valid values

See Also:

Window.addWindowListener(java.awt.event.WindowListener) , getDefaultCloseOperation() , WindowConstants

an integer indicating the window-close operation

See Also:

setDefaultCloseOperation(int)

setTransferHandler

 
public void setTransferHandler ( TransferHandler newHandler) 

Sets the transferHandler property, which is a mechanism to support transfer of data into this component. Use null if the component does not support data transfer operations.

If the system property suppressSwingDropSupport is false (the default) and the current drop target on this component is either null or not a user-set drop target, this method will change the drop target as follows: If newHandler is null it will clear the drop target. If not null it will install a new DropTarget.

Note: When used with JDialog, TransferHandler only provides data import capability, as the data export related methods are currently typed to JComponent.

Please see How to Use Drag and Drop and Data Transfer , a section in The Java Tutorial, for more information.

Parameters:

newHandler - the new TransferHandler

comp - the component to be enhanced

constraints - the constraints to be respected

index - the index

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if index is invalid

comp - the component to be removed

Throws:

NullPointerException - if comp is null

setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated

public static void setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(boolean defaultLookAndFeelDecorated)

Provides a hint as to whether or not newly created JDialogs should have their Window decorations (such as borders, widgets to close the window, title...) provided by the current look and feel. If defaultLookAndFeelDecorated is true, the current LookAndFeel supports providing window decorations, and the current window manager supports undecorated windows, then newly created JDialogs will have their Window decorations provided by the current LookAndFeel. Otherwise, newly created JDialogs will have their Window decorations provided by the current window manager.

You can get the same effect on a single JDialog by doing the following:

    JDialog dialog = new JDialog();
    dialog.setUndecorated(true);
    dialog.getRootPane().setWindowDecorationStyle(JRootPane.PLAIN_DIALOG);
 

Parameters:

defaultLookAndFeelDecorated - A hint as to whether or not current look and feel should provide window decorations

Since:

1.4

See Also:

LookAndFeel.getSupportsWindowDecorations()

isDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated

public static boolean isDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated()

Returns true if newly created JDialogs should have their Window decorations provided by the current look and feel. This is only a hint, as certain look and feels may not support this feature.

Returns:

true if look and feel should provide Window decorations.

Since:

1.4

paramString

Returns a string representation of this JDialog. This method is intended to be used only for debugging purposes, and the content and format of the returned string may vary between implementations. The returned string may be empty but may not be null.

Overrides:

paramString in class Dialog

Returns:

a string representation of this JDialog.

getAccessibleContext

public AccessibleContext getAccessibleContext()

Gets the AccessibleContext associated with this JDialog. For JDialogs, the AccessibleContext takes the form of an AccessibleJDialog. A new AccessibleJDialog instance is created if necessary.
