how to populate WizardPage at view time? [message #81613]

Hi all,
Using latest RAP. I want my subclass of WizardPage to populate at view
time, on the basis of information entered in the previous page. How can I
do this? I cannot find a single method in WizardPage which is called at
the time when it becomes the current page in the wizard.

I also find that getControl() gets called multiple times before the page
is the current page. Within method getControl(), I find that
isCurrentPage() always return false, so I cannot use this to hook into
whent he WizardPage intially loads.
Thanks much,
David Donohue

@Override
public Control getControl() {
log.info("getControl() called; isCurrentPage()? "+ isCurrentPage());
return super.getControl();
}

Well for others w/ this problem:
This solution applies for wizards in RAP version of JFace wizards, but
likely applies to RCP version as well.

As far as I could find, it turns out that the wizard infrastructure does
not notify either the IWizard nor the IWizardPage when the next button is
pressed. So I had to subclass the WizardDialog like this

public class DynaWizardDialog extends WizardDialog {

public DynaWizardDialog(Shell parentShell, IWizard newWizard) {
super(parentShell, newWizard);
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}

@Override
public void nextPressed() {
IWizardPage nextPage = getCurrentPage().getNextPage();
if (nextPage instanceof DynaWizardPage) {
((DynaWizardPage)nextPage).onEnterPage();
}
super.nextPressed();
}
}

and added a method to my own subclass of WizardPage, to receive the
onEnterPage call:

public class DynaWizardPage extends WizardPage {

public void onEnterPage() {
...
}
}

David,

as you are using a WizardDialog, have you tried to use
WizardDialog#addPageChangingListener ?

Cheers,

You statement above implies that we can put wizard in container other than
Dialog, is it possible to put it in IEditorPart or IViewPart for instance ?

Hi Setya,

with a custom implementation of IWizardContainer it is possible to
place a wizard in a container other than a dialog.
Though technically possible, I am not sure if this is something a
user would expect.

Rüdiger
