## DialogWrapper
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
[DialogWrapper](upsource:///platform/platform-api/src/com/intellij/openapi/ui/DialogWrapper.java)
|
|
is the base class which is supposed to be used for all modal dialogs (and some non-modal dialogs) shown in *IntelliJ Platform* plugins.
|
|
It provides the following features:
|
|
|
|
* Button layout (platform-specific order of `OK/Cancel` buttons, Mac OS-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
|
|
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
* 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 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),
|
|
bind the top-level panel of the form to a field and return that field from the `createCenterPanel()` method.
|
|
|
|
To display the dialog, you call the `show()` method and then use the `getExitCode()` method to check how the dialog was closed.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
To validate the data entered into the dialog, you can 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
|
|
[ValidationInfo](upsource:///platform/platform-api/src/com/intellij/openapi/ui/ValidationInfo.java)
|
|
class, 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.
