Constructors Summary
public YesNoDialog()
The no-argument bean constructor, with default property values

    this("Question", "Your\nMessage\nHere", "Yes", "No", "Cancel", LEFT);
public YesNoDialog(String title, String message, String yesLabel, String noLabel, String cancelLabel, int alignment)
A constructor for programmers using this class "by hand"

    this.title = title;
    this.message = message;
    this.yesLabel = yesLabel;
    this.noLabel = noLabel;
    this.cancelLabel = cancelLabel;
    this.alignment = alignment;
Methods Summary
public voidaddAnswerListener(AnswerListener l)
Register an action listener to be notified when a button is pressed


               
      
    listeners.addElement(l);
public voiddisplay()
This method makes the bean display the dialog box

    // Create a frame with the specified title.  It would be nice to
    // use a Dialog, but that needs to be passed a Frame argument, and
    // the BDK beanbox tool only seems to work with no-argument methods.
    final Frame frame = new Frame(title);

    // Specify a LayoutManager for it.
    frame.setLayout(new BorderLayout(15, 15));

    // Specify font and colors, if any are specified.
    if (font != null) frame.setFont(font);
    if (background != null) frame.setBackground(background);
    if (foreground != null) frame.setForeground(foreground);

    // Put the message label in the middle of the window.
    frame.add("Center", new MultiLineLabel(message, 20, 20, alignment));

    // Create an action listener for use by the buttons of the dialog.
    // When a button is pressed, this listener first closes the dialog box.
    // Then, it creates an AnswerEvent object that corresponds to the
    // button that was pressed, and send that new event to all registered
    // listeners, using the fireEvent() method defined above.
    ActionListener listener = new ActionListener() {
      public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        frame.dispose();     // pop down window
        if (listeners != null) {      // notify any registered listeners
          String cmd = e.getActionCommand();
          int type;
          if (cmd.equals("yes")) type = AnswerEvent.YES;
          else if (cmd.equals("no")) type = AnswerEvent.NO;

          else type = AnswerEvent.CANCEL;
          fireEvent(new AnswerEvent(YesNoDialog.this, type));
        }
      }
    };

    // Create a panel for the dialog buttons and put it at the bottom
    // of the dialog.  Specify a FlowLayout layout manager for it.
    Panel buttonbox = new Panel();
    buttonbox.setLayout(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.CENTER, 25, 15));
    frame.add("South", buttonbox);

    // Create each specified button, specifying the action listener
    // and action command for each, and adding them to the buttonbox
    if ((yesLabel != null) && (yesLabel.length() > 0)) {
      Button yes = new Button(yesLabel);        // Create button.
      yes.setActionCommand("yes");              // Set action command.
      yes.addActionListener(listener);          // Set listener.
      buttonbox.add(yes);                       // Add button to the panel.
    }
    if ((noLabel != null) && (noLabel.length() > 0)) {
      Button no = new Button(noLabel);
      no.setActionCommand("no");
      no.addActionListener(listener);
      buttonbox.add(no);
    }
    if ((cancelLabel != null) && (cancelLabel.length() > 0)) {
      Button cancel = new Button(cancelLabel);
      cancel.setActionCommand("cancel");
      cancel.addActionListener(listener);
      buttonbox.add(cancel);
    }

    // Finally, set the dialog to its preferred size and display it.
    frame.pack();
    frame.show();
public voidfireEvent(AnswerEvent e)
Send an event to all registered listeners

    // Make a copy of the list and fire the events using that copy.
    // This means that listeners can be added or removed from the original
    // list in response to this event.  We ought to be able to just use an
    // enumeration for the vector, but that doesn't copy the list internally.
    Vector list = (Vector) listeners.clone();
    for(int i = 0; i < list.size(); i++) {
      AnswerListener listener = (AnswerListener)list.elementAt(i);
      switch(e.getID()) {
      case AnswerEvent.YES: listener.yes(e); break;
      case AnswerEvent.NO:  listener.no(e); break;
      case AnswerEvent.CANCEL: listener.cancel(e); break;
      }
