GDialog and GDetachedPanel
De Wiki
GENIUS proposes to display information in detached windows. Two objects may be used depending on the fact that the window has a modal comportment or not:
- GDetachedPanel if not modal
- GDialog if modal
The principle is more or less the same for both classes: we have to create a class extending GDetachedPanel or GDialog (as extending GPanel):
public class GDetachedPanelWidget extends GDetachedPanel { private GLabel lab; public GDetachedPanelWidget( String title ) { super(title); lab = new GLabel("GDetachedPanel test ..."); this.getJFrame().setPreferredSize(new Dimension(200, 100)); this.getJFrame().setLocation(200, 0); } @Override public void display() throws GException { generic(); } @Override public void generic() throws GException { put(lab); } }
public class GDialogWidget extends GDialog { private GLabel lab; public GDialogWidget( String title ) { super(title); lab = new GLabel("GDialog test ..."); this.getJPanel().setPreferredSize(new Dimension(180, 60)); } @Override public void display() throws GException { generic(); } @Override public void generic() throws GException { put(lab); } }
Then, the difference will be on the way to call them to be displayed:
- for GDetachedPanel, it will be as for a GPanel via the put() method.
- for GDialog, we will have to call for the display() method of the object ; we will exit of this method when the GDialog window will have been closed.
public class TestForGDialogAndGDetachedPanel extends GPanel { private GCheckBox cbDialog; private GCheckBox cbDetach; private GDialogWidget dialog; private GDetachedPanelWidget detach; public TestForGDialogAndGDetachedPanel() { cbDetach = new GCheckBox("Test GDetachedPanel"); cbDialog = new GCheckBox("Test GDialog"); detach = new GDetachedPanelWidget("GDetachedPanel"); dialog = new GDialogWidget("GDialog"); } @Override public void display() throws GException { generic(); } @Override public void generic() throws GException { put(cbDetach); if ( cbDetach.isSelected() ) { put(detach); } put(cbDialog); if ( cbDialog.isSelected() ) { dialog.show(); cbDialog.setSelected(false); } } }
Using the code above, we will have this:
by clicking on the checkbox for GDetachedPanel], a detached window will appear ...
... and by clicking on the checkbox for GDialog, the following window will appear when the main window will be deactivated:
