Hi,

I want to write a wizard plug in with two pages.
The first page, the user fills the form (I have one SWT Text) and I
want to display in the second page in another SWT Text what the user has
typed in the SWT Text.

How can I do that ?

public class UDDIWizard extends Wizard implements INewWizard{
public void addPages() {
page = new UDDIWizardPage1("Page 1");
addPage(page);
page = new UDDIWizardPage2("Page 2");
addPage(page);
}
}

public class UDDIWizardPage1 extends WizardPage{
private Text wsdlText;
public void createControl(Composite parent) {
...
wsdlText = new Text(controls, SWT.BORDER | SWT.SINGLE);
...
}

public class UDDIWizardPage2 extends WizardPage {
public void createControl(Composite parent) {
new Text(controls, SWT.NONE).setText(?????????);

}

Thanks.

Olivier

Use some model which can store your data between pages.
Like this:
class Model{
String text;
setText(){...};
getText(){...};
}

public IWizardPage getNextPage(){
model.setText(wsdlText.getText());
}

public void setModel(Model model){
this.model = model;
}

String text = model.getText();

public void setModel(Model model){
this.model = model;
}

I think that should work....

Thanks for your answer.

But it doesn't work, the second page is built when the addPages() method
of the Wizard class is invoked and the user hasn't yet typed in the first
page.

So it displays a null pointer or the default value specified in the Model
class.

If anyone has the solution of my problem...

Thanks.

What is wrong with the model returning a default value such as an empty
textfield. Since the firstpage hasn't been filled yet there can possibly
be no value in the model.

Don't forget to persist the model and restore it inbetween platform
invocations.

Hi !

I had the same problem : I wanted to show the user what he had selected
during the wizard on the last page so I looked for a method which is
only called when the page is displayed and filled my controls in it. The
method I found is canFlipToNextPage() :

public void createControl(Composite parent) {
this.parent = parent;
control = new Composite(parent, SWT.NONE);
FormLayout layout = new FormLayout();
layout.marginHeight = 15;
layout.marginWidth = 15;
control.setLayout(layout);

setControl(control);
}

public boolean canFlipToNextPage() {
this.backupItem = ((AddFolderWizard)
getWizard()).setFilter.getBackupItem();
control.dispose();
createControl(parent);
createControls();
control.pack();
control.update();

return false;
}

private void createControls() {
// dialog title
Label label = new Label(control, SWT.NONE);

label.setText(Messages.getString("AddFolderWizard.finishPage.abstract.title "));
//$NON-NLS-1$
FormData data = new FormData();
data.top = new FormAttachment(0, 0);
data.left = new FormAttachment(0, 0);
label.setLayoutData(data);

...
}

I dispose and rebuild the controls because there was a refresh
problem... Hope it will help ;) !
