Eclipse Rich Ajax Platform
Release 1.2

org.eclipse.swt.widgets
Class Dialog


java.lang.Object
  extended by
org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Dialog
Direct Known Subclasses:
ColorDialog, MessageBox

public abstract class Dialog
extends Object

This class is the abstract superclass of the classes that represent the built in platform dialogs. A Dialog typically contains other widgets that are not accessible. A Dialog is not a Widget.

This class can also be used as the abstract superclass for user-designed dialogs. Such dialogs usually consist of a Shell with child widgets.

Note: The modality styles supported by this class are treated as HINTs, because not all are supported by every subclass on every platform. If a modality style is not supported, it is "upgraded" to a more restrictive modality style that is supported. For example, if PRIMARY_MODAL is not supported by a particular dialog, it would be upgraded to APPLICATION_MODAL. In addition, as is the case for shells, the window manager for the desktop on which the instance is visible has ultimate control over the appearance and behavior of the instance, including its modality.

Styles:
APPLICATION_MODAL, PRIMARY_MODAL, SYSTEM_MODAL
Events:
(none)

Note: Only one of the styles APPLICATION_MODAL, PRIMARY_MODAL, and SYSTEM_MODAL may be specified.

Dialog

public Dialog(
Shell parent,
              int style)

The class description lists the style constants that are applicable to the class. Style bits are also inherited from superclasses.

Parameters:
parent - a shell which will be the parent of the new instance
style - the style of dialog to construct
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException -
  • ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the parent is null
