Constructor Detail

LWPDMessageDialog

public LWPDMessageDialog(org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Shell parentShell,
                         java.lang.String dialogTitle,
                         org.eclipse.swt.graphics.Image dialogTitleImage,
                         java.lang.String dialogMessage,
                         int dialogImageType,
                         java.lang.String[] dialogButtonLabels,
                         int defaultIndex)

Create a message dialog. Note that the dialog will have no visual representation (no widgets) until it is told to open.

The labels of the buttons to appear in the button bar are supplied in this constructor as an array. The Window.open() method will return the index of the label in this array corresponding to the button that was pressed to close the dialog. If the dialog was dismissed without pressing a button (ESC, etc.) then -1 is returned.
Note that the open method blocks.

Parameters:

parentShell - the parent shell

dialogTitle - the message to appear in the dialog's title bar

dialogTitleImage - the image to appear in the dialog's title bar

dialogMessage - the message to appear in the dialog's body

dialogImageType - the image to appear in the dialog's body

dialogButtonLabels - an array of labels to be used for buttons in the button bar

defaultIndex - the index of the button that is to be selected by default
