public class Dialog

extends Window

Unsafe: A Dialog is a top-level window with a title and a border that is typically used to take some form of input from the user. The size of the dialog includes any area designated for the border. The dimensions of the border area can be obtained using the getInsets method, however, since these dimensions are platform-dependent, a valid insets value cannot be obtained until the dialog is made displayable by either calling pack or show. Since the border area is included in the overall size of the dialog, the border effectively obscures a portion of the dialog, constraining the area available for rendering and/or displaying subcomponents to the rectangle which has an upper-left corner location of (insets.left, insets.top), and has a size of width - (insets.left + insets.right) by height - (insets.top + insets.bottom).

The default layout for a dialog is BorderLayout.

A dialog may have its native decorations (i.e. Frame & Titlebar) turned off with setUndecorated. This can only be done while the dialog is not displayable.

A dialog must have either a frame or another dialog defined as its owner when it's constructed. When the owner window of a visible dialog is minimized, the dialog will automatically be hidden from the user. When the owner window is subsequently restored, the dialog is made visible to the user again.

In a multi-screen environment, you can create a Dialog on a different screen device than its owner. See java.awt.Frame for more information.

A dialog can be either modeless (the default) or modal. A modal dialog is one which blocks input to all other toplevel windows in the application, except for any windows created with the dialog as their owner.

Dialogs are capable of generating the following WindowEvents: WindowOpened, WindowClosing, WindowClosed, WindowActivated, WindowDeactivated, WindowGainedFocus, WindowLostFocus.

resizable

boolean resizable

A dialog's resizable property. Will be true if the Dialog is to be resizable, otherwise it will be false.

undecorated

boolean undecorated

This field indicates whether the dialog is undecorated. This property can only be changed while the dialog is not displayable. undecorated will be true if the dialog is undecorated, otherwise it will be false.

constructComponentName

String constructComponentName()

Construct a name for this component. Called by getName() when the name is null.

Overrides:

constructComponentName in class Window

---

addNotify

public void addNotify()

Suppressed: Makes this Dialog displayable by connecting it to a native screen resource. Making a dialog displayable will cause any of its children to be made displayable. This method is called internally by the toolkit and should not be called directly by programs.

Overrides:

addNotify in class Window

See Also:

Component.isDisplayable(), Container.removeNotify()

---

isModal

public boolean isModal()

Suppressed: Indicates whether the dialog is modal. When a modal Dialog is made visible, user input will be blocked to the other windows in the application, except for any windows created with this dialog as their owner.

Returns:

true if this dialog window is modal; false otherwise.

See Also:

java.awt.Dialog#setModal

---

setModal

public void setModal(boolean b)

Suppressed: Specifies whether this dialog should be modal.

Since:

JDK1.1

See Also:

java.awt.Dialog#isModal

---

getTitle

public String getTitle()

Suppressed: Gets the title of the dialog. The title is displayed in the dialog's border.

Returns:

the title of this dialog window. The title may be null.

See Also:

java.awt.Dialog#setTitle

---

setTitle

public void setTitle(String title)

Enabled: Sets the title of the Dialog.

Parameters:

title - the title displayed in the dialog's border; a null value results in an empty title

See Also:

getTitle()

---

conditionalShow

private boolean conditionalShow()

Returns:

true if we actually showed, false if we just called toFront()

---

show

public void show()

Enabled: Makes the Dialog visible. If the dialog and/or its owner are not yet displayable, both are made displayable. The dialog will be validated prior to being made visible. If the dialog is already visible, this will bring the dialog to the front.

If the dialog is modal and is not already visible, this call will not return until the dialog is hidden by calling hide or dispose. It is permissible to show modal dialogs from the event dispatching thread because the toolkit will ensure that another event pump runs while the one which invoked this method is blocked.

Overrides:

show in class Window

Component.hide(), Component.isDisplayable(), Component.validate(), java.awt.Dialog#isModal

---

interruptBlocking

Suppressed: Hides the Dialog and then causes show() to return if it is currently blocked.

Overrides:

hide in class Window

See Also:

Window.show(), Window.dispose()

---
