JDialog

[Jon Camilleri]

How would you go about creating the class named CustomDialog referred to within this code?

It needs a method that reads getValidatedText().

private class CustomDialog extends JDialog
{
  public CustomDialog() {}
  public String getValidatedText() 
  {
    ...
  }
}

Line 1 of your snippet defines a class CustomDialog that inherits JDialog characteristics.
Line 3 of your snippet is an empty CustomDialog constructor.
Line 4 is a signature for a method within CustomDialog called getValidatedText()

One would instantiate your class CustomDialog with

CustomDialog customDialog = new CustomDialog();

I'm not sure what you're asking beyond those basics.

How do you create any class? Somewhere you need code like:

CustomDialog dialog = new CustomDialog();

That would probably be executed when you click on a button.

Instead of asking all these questions and not replying when you get answers its time you start posting a SSCCE with your question that shows what you've attempted.

Excuse me, it turns out that I was missing one of the files, CustomDialog.java.

There was a missing file, I didn't realize sorry, however I'm still getting compilation errors with both .java files in place:

C:\Documents and Settings\Jon\workspace\JavaDev\myCode Snippets\DialogDemo.java:64: cannot find symbol
symbol : class CustomDialog
location: class components.DialogDemo
CustomDialog customDialog;
^
C:\Documents and Settings\Jon\workspace\JavaDev\myCode Snippets\DialogDemo.java:70: cannot find symbol

location: class components.DialogDemo
customDialog = new CustomDialog(frame, "geisel", this);

You need to provide more info. We can't guess why you're getting an error - other than for the obvious reasons stated in the error - without seeing the code causing the error.

I'm going to guess that you don't have a CustomDialog constructor that matches your instantiation of a CustomDialog, but that's a guess.

Nevermind, it seems to work when I launch the JNLP from their website, and, I'm not sure what is wrong with my copy and paste
