JDialog : Custom Input

[Darren Wilkinson]

Hello :-)

I need to make a modal dialog window that requires the user to input text into 3 textfields

It also needs two buttons

A cancel button (which gets rid of the dialog)

Another button which passes the users text on to the class that created the dialog

Can anyone point me in the right direction on this please

Darren

This might get you started (it's rough)

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
 
class Testing extends JFrame
{
  JLabel lbl = new JLabel("Name = ");
  public Testing()
  {
    setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    setLocation(400,300);
    JPanel main = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
    main.add(lbl,BorderLayout.NORTH);
    JButton btn = new JButton("Enter name");
    btn.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
      public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
      {
        class GetName extends JDialog
        {
          JTextField tf = new JTextField(10);
          public GetName()
          {
            setModal(true);
            setLocation(400,300);
            getContentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout());
            getContentPane().add(tf,BorderLayout.NORTH);
            JButton btn1 = new JButton("Add Name");
            btn1.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
              public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
                lbl.setText("Name = "+tf.getText());
                dispose();}});
            getContentPane().add(btn1);
            pack();
            setVisible(true);
          }
        }
        new GetName();}});
    main.add(btn,BorderLayout.SOUTH);
    getContentPane().add(main);
    pack();
  }
  public static void main(String[] args){new Testing().setVisible(true);}
}

It did a little more than point. I hope this wasn't a homework assignment..Michael, are you listening?
