Are AX dialog buttons limited to OK and Cancel?
Is it possible to add a custom button to the dialog?
I have the following code for my dialog:
static void mitTabPage(Args _args)
{
Dialog dialog;
DialogGroup dialoggroup, dialoggroup2;
DialogField dialogfield, dialogfield2;
;
dialog = new Dialog ("A new Dialog");
dialog.addTabPage("Brand Id's");
dialoggroup = dialog.addGroup("Brand Id's");
dialogfield = dialog.addField(extendedTypeStr(SYCCarBrandId));
dialog.addTabPage("Owners");
dialoggroup2 = dialog.addGroup("Owners");
dialogfield2 = dialog.addField(extendedTypeStr(SYCOwner));
dialog.run();
}
I'd like to add another button to the dialog. How can I do that?
The Dialog framework is a simple framework for prompting users to obtain some data/settings then performing some action or canceling.
For what you're trying to do, it most likely doesn't make sense to use the dialog framework and instead you could/should create another form if you need additional functionality.
However, if you do insist on using the Dialog framework for this, you would add a runtime button and use registerOverrideMethod.

I would like to use the standard JavaFX Alert class for a confirmation dialog that includes a check box for "Do not ask again". Is this possible, or do I have to create a custom Dialog from scratch?
I tried using the DialogPane.setExpandableContent() method, but that's not really what I want - this adds a Hide/Show button in the button bar, and the check box appears in the main body of the dialog, whereas I want the check box to appear in the button bar.
Yes, it is possible, with a little bit of work. You can override DialogPane.createDetailsButton() to return any node you want in place of the Hide/Show button. The trick is that you need to reconstruct the Alert after that, because you will have got rid of the standard contents created by the Alert. You also need to fool the DialogPane into thinking there is expanded content so that it shows your checkbox. Here's an example of a factory method to create an Alert with an opt-out check box. The text and action of the check box are customizable.
public static Alert createAlertWithOptOut(AlertType type, String title, String headerText,
String message, String optOutMessage, Consumer<Boolean> optOutAction,
ButtonType... buttonTypes) {
Alert alert = new Alert(type);
// Need to force the alert to layout in order to grab the graphic,
// as we are replacing the dialog pane with a custom pane
alert.getDialogPane().applyCss();
Node graphic = alert.getDialogPane().getGraphic();
// Create a new dialog pane that has a checkbox instead of the hide/show details button
// Use the supplied callback for the action of the checkbox
alert.setDialogPane(new DialogPane() {
#Override
protected Node createDetailsButton() {
CheckBox optOut = new CheckBox();
optOut.setText(optOutMessage);
optOut.setOnAction(e -> optOutAction.accept(optOut.isSelected()));
return optOut;
}
});
alert.getDialogPane().getButtonTypes().addAll(buttonTypes);
alert.getDialogPane().setContentText(message);
// Fool the dialog into thinking there is some expandable content
// a Group won't take up any space if it has no children
alert.getDialogPane().setExpandableContent(new Group());
alert.getDialogPane().setExpanded(true);
// Reset the dialog graphic using the default style
alert.getDialogPane().setGraphic(graphic);
alert.setTitle(title);
alert.setHeaderText(headerText);
return alert;
}
And here is an example of the factory method being used, where prefs is some preference store that saves the user's choice
Alert alert = createAlertWithOptOut(AlertType.CONFIRMATION, "Exit", null,
"Are you sure you wish to exit?", "Do not ask again",
param -> prefs.put(KEY_AUTO_EXIT, param ? "Always" : "Never"), ButtonType.YES, ButtonType.NO);
if (alert.showAndWait().filter(t -> t == ButtonType.YES).isPresent()) {
System.exit();
}
And here's what the dialog looks like:
I'm using DX 15.1, and I'm trying to create a new tab from a child form.
So, basically, I have a parent form called "pForm", and a child form called "cForm".
I'm using DocumentManager module and switched it to TabbedView mode.
When I'm trying to create a new tab from pForm, it's totally fine.
the problem is, when I'm can't create a new tab from cForm into pForm's TabbedView.
How do I achieve this?
Thanks, mate :)
UPDATE :
#DmitryG, thanks for your response.
I've attached a screenshot below.
The MDI-Parent is the RGP page with a settings header. and the MDI-Child is the Class Attendance form (popped-up window, triggered by a button inside the RGP form).
Can you give a solution, how to make the Class Attendance Form (mdi-child) became a new Tab beside RGP tab when it's triggered by a button within mdi-parent? Not as a popped-up window.
thanks!
When the DocumentManager works in MDI Mode you can just work with mdi parent and child forms. So, I believe, you code for adding a new mdi-child into mdi-parent form can looks like this:
static void AddMdiChildFromMdiParent(Form mdiParent) {
Form child = new Form();
child.MdiParent = mdiParent;
child.Show();
}
Within the mdi-parent form you can call this code like this:
AddMdiChildFromMdiParent(this);
To add a new mdi-child from an existing mdi-child you can reuse the code above as follows:
static void AddMdiChildFromMdiChild(Form child) {
AddMdiChildFromMdiParent(child.MdiParent);
}
I'm trying to generate a dialog that contains an ad-on tool that is separate from my main program, it its triggered from an action within the menus.
I've got the following code:
void MainWindow::on_actionCalibration_Tool_triggered()
{
QGridLayout *grid = new QGridLayout;
NewDialog.setLayout(grid);
NewDialog.setMinimumHeight(500);
NewDialog.setMinimumWidth(800);
QLabel *label = new QLabel;
QFont sansFont("MS Shell Dlg 2",22, QFont::Bold);
label->setText("Test");
label->setFont(sansFont);
QPushButton *okbutton = new QPushButton;
QPushButton *closebutton = new QPushButton;
okbutton->setText("Ok");
closebutton->setText("Close");
QTimer *timer = new QTimer;
connect(okbutton,SIGNAL(clicked()),this,SLOT(on_ScanpB_clicked()));
connect(closebutton,SIGNAL(clicked()),this,SLOT(CloseDialog()));
grid->addWidget(label);
grid->addWidget(okbutton);
grid->addWidget(closebutton);
NewDialog.exec();
NewDialog.show();
}
void MainWindow::CloseDialog()
{
NewDialog.close();
}
With NewDialog being defined in main window.h as a QDialog.
My issue is when I click the close button, the dialog will close for a split second then reopen, after I click the close button for a second time it closes for good.
Is there any better implementation or way around this?
Thanks
You should not call QDialog::show and QDialog::exec. Instead, pick one to call.
Use exec if you want to block user interaction with the dialog's parent while the dialog is open. The user will not be play with anything else in the application until they dismiss the dialog. This is called a modal.
Use show if you want to allow the user to work with the dialog and the rest of the application at the same time.
Usually you'd choose exec. It is easier to work with. In your case, you displayed the dialog twice by calling both functions.
Is it possible to rename dialog box buttons?
For example on "okCancel" can I rename the "ok" button as "continue"?
If not please guide me how can I create my own dialog box?
Thanks ahead.
A button has a "Text" property.
You can set that property or do so by code:
okButton.text("Continue");
The Box::okCancel uses the DialogBox class which is a kernel class and cannot be changed.
The yesNoAxaptaForm method on the other hand uses an AX form, so you can roll on your own.
That said it seems to gain little value.
Also consider using the RunBase framework with a form, as demonstrated in the Tutorial_RunbaseForm class.
You can create a new method in class Dialog overwriting the control #okButton and call this method in your new dialog.
When Dialog class is create in the method new call the method initButtons, which can be overridden.
For example:
FormBuildButtonGroupControl buttonGroup;
formBuildCommandButtonControl okButton;
;
buttonGroup = dialogForm.buildDesign().control(#bottomGroup);
if (buttonGroup)
{
okButton = dialogForm.buildDesign().control(#okButton);
okButton.text("test");
}
I created a SWT based Wizard which has an own help Button by custom. Now i want to put some content behind that, so maybe a SWT browser will be openend and a predifined HTML Doc will be shown. But I don't have any clue where to access the Actions of the Help Button within my Wizard. Any idea?
I am assuming that you are using the standard JFace interfaces and classes for the wizard implementation. So, in your wizard page (extending org.eclipse.jface.wizard.WizardPage) you just have to override the performHelp method. See the below snippet.
#Override
public void performHelp()
{
Shell shell = new Shell(getShell());
shell.setText("My Custom Help !!");
shell.setLayout(new GridLayout());
shell.setLayoutData(new GridData(SWT.FILL, SWT.FILL, true, true));
Browser browser = new Browser(shell, SWT.NONE);
browser.setUrl("http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7322489/cant-put-content-behind-swt-wizard-help-button");
browser.setLayoutData(new GridData(SWT.FILL, SWT.FILL, true, true));
shell.open();
}
