Hello,

I have a JFace TitleAreaDialog, which change some properties for a given person.

In this dialog there are some textfields and some radio-Buttons.

I generate the OK and Cancel Button in the methode createButtonsForButtonBar().

@Override
	protected void createButtonsForButtonBar(Composite parent) {
		okButton = createButton(parent, IDialogConstants.OK_ID, IDialogConstants.OK_LABEL, true);
		okButton.addSelectionListener(new SelectionAdapter() {
			public void widgetSelected(SelectionEvent e) {
				person.setName(name.getText());			
				....
				setReturnCode(OK);
				close();
			}
		});	
		cancelButton = createButton(parent, IDialogConstants.CANCEL_ID, IDialogConstants.CANCEL_LABEL, false);
	   	cancelButton.addSelectionListener(new SelectionAdapter() {
	      public void widgetSelected(SelectionEvent e) {
	        setReturnCode(CANCEL);
	        close();
	      }
	    });
		
	}

But the problem is, when I click the ok Button and want to set the properties for the person., all textfields, radiobuttons are disposed and I don't get any values.

What is the reason for that, and what must I changed to set the values after click on the ok-Button.

You can override okPressed() like this :

/*
* (non-Javadoc)
* @see org.eclipse.jface.dialogs.Dialog#okPressed()
*/
protected void okPressed() {
person.setName(name.getText());
....
super.okPressed();
}

Don't call super.okPressed() if you want to cancel validation on some
controls (empty name for example).
It works for me when i'm subclassing JFace Dialog.

BTW : like okPressed(), okCancel() is called on Cancel Button.
