Getting a reference to the OK button in Dialog [message #464948]

Hi All,

Eclipse 3.2M3
OS X 10.4.3

quick question regards OK button in a org.eclipse.jface.dialogs.Dialog.

I've extended the class to build my own dialog. I'd like to grab a
reference to the default OK button, however

getOKButton()

is depreciated and

etButton(IDialogConstants.OK_ID)

returns null. Is this correct behaviour? Am I doing something wrong?

Cheers

Matt

You can override createButton and keep a reference to the okButton:

protected Button createButton(Composite parent, int id, String label,
boolean defaultButton) {
Button button = super.createButton(parent, id, label, defaultButton);
if (id == IDialogConstants.OK_ID) {
okButton = button;
}
return button;
}

If you just want to listen to SelectionEvents on the OK button, you can
simply overload Dialog.okPressed().
