public final class ButtonsType

Specify that a predefined set of Buttons should be used for a MessageDialog. When you use one of these ButtonsType, each automatically constructed Button is automatically associated with its corresponding ResponseType.

If none of these choices represented by the constants in this class are appropriate, use NONE and then call the addButton() methods manually. You can also specify your own response codes by subclassing ResponseType.

Field Detail

CANCEL

public static final ButtonsType CANCEL

A single "Cancel" Button.

If you intend to use a MessageDialog with only a CANCEL Button in order to give the user the ability to interrupt a long running task, you should also include a ProgressBar in the Dialog showing the status of the task so far.

CLOSE

public static final ButtonsType CLOSE

A single "Close" Button. In most cases (ie, information providing Dialogs) the OK Button is a better alternative, but CLOSE is the appropriate choice for preferences Dialogs where the settings are automatically applied.

NONE

public static final ButtonsType NONE

No Buttons at all. Used when none of these choices are suitable for your needs and you want to add your own Buttons instead.

OK

public static final ButtonsType OK

A single "Ok" Button. Use this for MessageDialogs that present an information message to which that the user can acknowledge but to which they can take no other action.

OK_CANCEL

public static final ButtonsType OK_CANCEL

The MessageDialog will have two Buttons, "Ok" and "Cancel". Use this for Dialogs that ask for confirmation or that alert about warning situations that can be avoided.

YES_NO

public static final ButtonsType YES_NO

The MessageDialog will have two Buttons, "Yes" and "No". Use this when the Dialog asks something to the user. Note that the OK_CANCEL may be a better alternative if you want a confirmation to start some task.
