Need help with JFace Wizard [message #467330]

Hi,
I am writing a JFace wizard consisting of 2 pages.
There is also a datamodel class.

The first wizard page takes user's input, and then update the datamodel
object. (No problem here.)
When I click the Next Button, the 2nd page is supposed to display the
updated content of the datamodel object.

The question is how to make the 2nd page access the new data? (It seems
the createControl() method of the 2nd page was executed when the wizard is
first loaded, therefore, can not access/display the new data dynamically.)

Can anyone help me out? Thank you very much in advance.

Paul

Paul,
it is your model - you can update widgets in 2nd page when
you change datamodel (or first page)

Like Haris implied, if your datamodel fires JavaBean-like events when data is changed, then your wizard pages will always show the right answer. For example, when creating a new plugin, the plugin name is used to drive a lot of the package names and IDs; each letter typed causes a chain-reaction of events that update the other fields. It's the same principle for a multi-page wizard, except that you won't see the updates happening :-)

Otherwise, you can override the setVisible() method, which (if I remember correctly) is fired when a page on a multi-page wizard is shown. Alternatviely, you can override the showPage in your own subclass of WizardDialog if you need to hook in some action when a page is changed.

Alex.
