Add Pages dynamically in a Wizard [message #289205]

Hello

I have a method A which asks parameters to the user during his
execution... Instead of sending a new DialogBox at each I need it, I would
like to use a Wizard. The thing is that at first I do not know the pages
and their number. Is it possible to create only the first page of the
wizard and create a Thread in getNextPage() which calls the method A and
returns a new page? Or maybe the wizard is built staticly and we cannot
increase the number of pages on the fly?

thanks for your help

Check out org.eclipse.jface.wizard.WizardSelectionPage, and anything
that uses it (check out the type hierarchy). You can do what you are
looking for with IWizardNode's, but at first glance it looks a little
complicated.

HTH.
Mark.

I have a similar requirement and I'm wondering if the WizardSelectionPage +
IWizardNode is appropriate:

My plugin's wizard needs to be user extensible. In other words, I need users
to have the ability to add wizard pages to my deployed plugin's wizard. It
seems like this might be possible if the WizardSelectionPage reads a list of
IWizardNodes from plugin.properties. Users could then add to that list when
they need to insert a new wizard page, then they would get an IWizardNode
representing their page.

The only problem with this is I don't know how to hook up the IWizardNode to
the user's page... Any ideas? Or is there a better way to do this?

Thanks!
