is the base class which is supposed to be used for all modal dialogs (and some non-modal dialogs) shown in *IntelliJ Platform*.
It provides the following features:
* Button layout (platform-specific order of `OK/Cancel` buttons, macOS-specific `Help` button)
* Button layout (platform-specific order of _OK_/_Cancel_ buttons, macOS-specific `Help` button)
* Context help
* Remembering the size of the dialog
* Non-modal validation (displaying an error message text when the data entered into the dialog is not valid)
* Keyboard shortcuts:
* `Esc` for closing the dialog
* `Left/Right` for switching between buttons
* `Y/N` for `Yes/No` actions if they exist in the dialog
* Optional `Do not ask again` checkbox
* <kbd>Esc</kbd> for closing the dialog
* <kbd>Left/Right</kbd> for switching between buttons
* <kbd>Y</kbd>/<kbd>N</kbd> for _Yes_/_No_ actions if they exist in the dialog
* Optional _Do not ask again_ checkbox
When using the
[`DialogWrapper`](upsource:///platform/platform-api/src/com/intellij/openapi/ui/DialogWrapper.java)
class for your own dialog, you need to follow these steps:
class for a dialog, follow these steps:
* Call the base class constructor and provide either a project in the frame of which the dialog will be displayed, or a parent component for the dialog.
* Call the `init()` method from the constructor of your dialog class
* Call the `init()` method from the constructor of the dialog class
* Call the `setTitle()` method to set the title for the dialog box
* Implement the `createCenterPanel()` method to return the component comprising the main contents of the dialog.
* *Optional*: Override the `getPreferredFocusedComponent()` method and return the component that should be focused when the dialog is first displayed.
* *Optional*: Override the `getDimensionServiceKey()` method to return the identifier which will be used for persisting the dialog dimensions.
* *Optional*: Override the `getHelpId()` method to return the context help topic associated with the dialog.
The
[`DialogWrapper`](upsource:///platform/platform-api/src/com/intellij/openapi/ui/DialogWrapper.java)
class is often used together with UI Designer forms.
In this case, you bind a UI Designer form to your class extending
[`DialogWrapper`](upsource:///platform/platform-api/src/com/intellij/openapi/ui/DialogWrapper.java),
class is often used together with [GUI Designer forms](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/gui-designer-basics.html).
In this case, bind a GUI Designer form to the class extending `DialogWrapper`,
bind the top-level panel of the form to a field and return that field from the `createCenterPanel()` method.
When using Kotlin, use [Kotlin UI DSL](kotlin_ui_dsl.md) to provide the dialog's contents.
To display the dialog, you call the `show()` method and then use the `getExitCode()` method to check how the dialog was closed. The `showAndGet()` method can be used to combine these two calls.
> **TIP** Existing dialogs can be inspected at runtime using [UI Inspector](/reference_guide/internal_actions/internal_ui_inspector.md), e.g., to locate the underlying implementation of UI components.
To customize the buttons displayed in the dialog (replacing the standard `OK/Cancel/Help` set of buttons), you can override either the `createActions()` or `createLeftActions()` methods.

To customize the buttons displayed in the dialog (replacing the standard _OK_/_Cancel_/_Help_ set of buttons), override either the `createActions()` or `createLeftActions()` methods.
Both of these methods return an array of Swing Action objects.
If the button that you're adding closes the dialog, you can use
[`DialogWrapperExitAction`](upsource:///platform/platform-api/src/com/intellij/openapi/ui/DialogWrapper.java),
as the base class for your action.
If a button closes the dialog, use
[`DialogWrapperExitAction`](upsource:///platform/platform-api/src/com/intellij/openapi/ui/DialogWrapper.java)
as the base class for the action.
Use `action.putValue(DialogWrapper.DEFAULT_ACTION, true)` to set the default button.
To validate the data entered into the dialog, you can override the `doValidate()` method.
To validate the data entered into the dialog, override the `doValidate()` method.
The method will be called automatically by timer.
If the currently entered data is valid, you need to return `null` from your implementation.
Otherwise, you need to return a
If the currently entered data is valid, return `null`.
Otherwise, return a
[`ValidationInfo`](upsource:///platform/platform-api/src/com/intellij/openapi/ui/ValidationInfo.java)
object which encapsulates an error message and an optional component associated with the invalid data.
If you specify a component, an error icon will be displayed next to it, and it will be focused when the user tries to invoke the `OK` action.

When specifying a component, an error icon will be displayed next to it, and it will be focused when the user tries to invoke the _OK_ action.
