Class ModelessOptionPane

java.lang.Object
  ch.aplu.util.ModelessOptionPane

public class ModelessOptionPane
extends java.lang.Object

Modeless message dialog using Swing JOptionPane. Useful to show text and/or images while the application continues to run.

When the close button of the MessagePane window title bar is hit, System.exit(0) is executed that terminates the JVM, but you can modifiy this behavior by registering your own implementation of the ExitListener interface or by using the key ModelessOptionPaneClosingMode in aplu_util.properties. For more details consult aplu_util.properties file found in the distribution.

All Swing methods are invoked in the EDT.

Constructor Detail

ModelessOptionPane

public ModelessOptionPane(int ulx,
                          int uly,
                          java.lang.String text,
                          java.net.URL iconUrl,
                          java.lang.String buttonText)

General constructor that show a modeless message dialog at given position (upper left corner) containing given text and given icon image (gif or jpg). iconUrl is the URL for the icon resource. The iconUrl is normally retrieved by calling

ClassLoader loader = getClass().getClassLoader();
URL iconUrl = loader.getResource(iconResource);

where iconResource is a '/'-separated path name that identifies the resource. If the resource is not found or iconUrl is set to ICON_EXCLAMATION, the exclamation icon is displayed.

If buttonText is not null and not empty a single button is displayed with the given text. To get a click event, register an ActionListener.
Example:

   mop.addActionListener(
   new ActionListener()
   {
   public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt)
   {
   // Code to execute when the button is hit
   }
   });

All methods run in the Event Dispatch Thread (EDT).
