How to create a Pop Up Form? [message #1062769]

Hello,

I just wanted to know which is the simple way to create a Pop-Up with an input form, which pops up for example when selecting a menu option. If inside this Pop-UP the OK button is clicked the (*) SERVICES.getService(ILDAPOutlineService.class).methodXXX() will be called and the Pop-up will be closed.

Connected to the first one, I have another question: How to "communicate" with other parts of the 'Desktop' class like for example a menu, "menu Y", (implemented with "AbstractMenu"), after calling(*), and then calling for example ZZZZZClass.this.execAction()?

Thank you for your time.

Displaying a pop-up dialog from a menu

Define the popup dialog as a normal form (let's assume it is called PopupDialogForm)

in your menu's execAction method add the following code:

  PopupDialogForm form = new PopupDialogForm();
  form.startNew();
  form.waitFor();
  if (form.isFormStored()) {
    SERVICES.getService(ILDAPOutlineService.class).methodXXX();
  }

I am not sure I understand what you want to do in your second part of the question, but if you need access to a ZZZZZClass instance, why don't you add a member var for it to Desktop and then use that to access execAction()?

An other possibility is to use MessageBox:

MessageBox.showOkMessage(TEXTS.get("MessageBoxTitle"), TEXTS.get("MessageBoxHeader"), TEXTS.get("MessageBoxInfo"))

There is different kind of message boxes (Ok, Yes/No, Yes/No/Cancel, delete confirmation, ...) Have a look at the different static methods on MessageBox.
