Method Detail

isHidden

public final boolean isHidden(java.lang.String messageDialogId)

Get whether the specified message dialog ID is hidden. This method should be used only for information dialogs; for Yes/No confirmation dialogs, use getConfirmed(String).

Parameters:

messageDialogId - the ID of an optional message dialog.

Returns:

true if the specified message dialog should not be displayed.

setHidden

public final void setHidden(java.lang.String messageDialogId,
                            boolean isHidden)

Set whether the specified message dialog ID is hidden. This method should be used only for information dialogs; for Yes/No confirmation dialogs, use setConfirmed(String,Boolean).

Parameters:

messageDialogId - the ID of an optional message dialog.

getConfirmed

public final java.lang.Boolean getConfirmed(java.lang.String messageDialogId)

Get the confirmation status of a Yes/No message dialog given the specified dialog ID, indicating whether the dialog has previously been confirmed by the user and should not be displayed.

The method returns Boolean.TRUE if the dialog has already been confirmed and a "Yes" answer should be assumed, and it returns Boolean.FALSE if a "No" answer should be assumed; in either case, the dialog should not be displayed. The method returns null if the status is unknown and the confirmation dialog should be displayed.

Parameters:

messageDialogId - the ID of an optional Yes/No message dialog

Returns:

either Boolean.TRUE, Boolean.FALSE, or null

setConfirmed

public final void setConfirmed(java.lang.String messageDialogId,

Set the confirmation status of a Yes/No message dialog given the specified dialog ID, indicating whether the dialog should be displayed to the user in the future.

Setting the confirmation status to Boolean.TRUE indicates the dialog should no longer be displayed and a "Yes" answer should be assumed, while Boolean.FALSE indicates a "No" answer should be assumed. Setting the confirmation status to null clears any previous status and indicates the dialog should be displayed in the future.

Parameters:

messageDialogId - the ID of an optional Yes/No message dialog

isConfirmed - either Boolean.TRUE, Boolean.FALSE, or null
