How to create a window similar to "Generate Getters and Setters" [message #777021]

Hi,

My plugin has an action for which I would like to open a window similar to the ones when we click "Generate Getters and Setters" or "Override/Implement Methods".

I would like to have the same "Select All" and "Deselect All" buttons to select actions to be performed.

I'm struggling to find out how to start or where to look in order to build this window.

I would appreciate any advice and guidance you guys can give me.

Thanks!

Hi,
The best way to learn might be to look at the source code of this dialog:

Thanks, it actually looks very good and helpful.

I saw that SourceActionDialog is extended by several classes, for example, OverrideMethodDialog. Please let me clarify how to use it.

Should If just create an instance of a Dialog in one of my actions? If so, how can I use constructors like
public OverrideMethodDialog(Shell shell,
CompilationUnitEditor editor, IType type, boolean isSubType)

?

Thanks!

Hi,

One possibility is to use the CheckedTreeSelection dialog out of the box.

Below is a snippet from the UI Guidelines
(http://wiki.eclipse.org/User_Interface_Guidelines).

CheckedTreeSelectionDialog dialog = new
CheckedTreeSelectionDialog(window.getShell(), getLabelProvider(),
getContentProvider());
dialog.setTitle("Tree Selection");
dialog.setMessage("Select the elements from the tree:");
dialog.setInput(getInput());
dialog.open();

That being said, I am not clear on what your problem is. Maybe a general
tutorial is what you need.
If so, work through this one from Mr. Vogel:
