JFace TitleAreaDialog Wizard

To use the wizard, select the project source folder and package to contain the class. Then enter the class name and hit the Finish button.

The wizard generates the following code.

import org.eclipse.jface.dialogs.IDialogConstants;

import org.eclipse.jface.dialogs.TitleAreaDialog;

import org.eclipse.swt.SWT;

import org.eclipse.swt.graphics.Point;

import org.eclipse.swt.layout.GridData;

import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Composite;

import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Control;

import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Shell;

 

public class JFaceTitleAreaDialog extends TitleAreaDialog {

    public JFaceTitleAreaDialog(Shell parentShell) {

        super(parentShell);

    }

    protected Control createDialogArea(Composite parent) {

        Composite area = (Composite) super.createDialogArea(parent);

        Composite container = new Composite(area, SWT.NONE);

        container.setLayoutData(new GridData(GridData.FILL_BOTH));

        return area;

    }

    protected void createButtonsForButtonBar(Composite parent) {

        createButton(parent, IDialogConstants.OK_ID,

            IDialogConstants.OK_LABEL, true);

        createButton(parent, IDialogConstants.CANCEL_ID,

            IDialogConstants.CANCEL_LABEL, false);

    }

    protected Point getInitialSize() {

        return new Point(500, 375);

    }

}

When editing JFace TitleAreaDialogs, any widget may be added to the main content area. In the button bar area, only Dialog Buttons may be added (on the JFace Viewers palette).

When adding a new dialog button, you can select an ID from a predefined list by clicking on the "..." button in the ID property. The Standard ID's shown are all of the standard button ID's defined in the IDialogConstants interface.

You can create news IDs by clicking on the New button. ID names need to be valid Java identifiers (preferably uppercase). The ID values are then defined as offsets from IDialogConstants.ID_CLIENT.

Any new IDs are then listed in the Custom ID's list.
