public class PopupDialog extends Window
A lightweight, transient dialog that is popped up to show contextual or temporal information and is easily dismissed. Clients control whether the dialog should be able to receive input focus. An optional title area at the top and an optional info area at the bottom can be used to provide additional information.Because the dialog is short-lived, most of the configuration of the dialog is done in the constructor. Set methods are only provided for those values that are expected to be dynamically computed based on a particular instance's internal state.
Clients are expected to override the creation of the main dialog area, and may optionally override the creation of the title area and info area in order to add content. In general, however, the creation of stylistic features, such as the dialog menu, separator styles, and fonts, is kept private so that all popup dialogs will have a similar appearance.

configureShell
in classWindow
- Parameters:
shell
- the shell
-
createContents
protected Control createContents(Composite parent)
ThePopupDialog
implementation of thisWindow
method creates and lays out the top level composite for the dialog. It then calls thecreateTitleMenuArea
,createDialogArea
, andcreateInfoTextArea
methods to create an optional title and menu area on the top, a dialog area in the center, and an optional info text area at the bottom. OverridingcreateDialogArea
and (optionally)createTitleMenuArea
andcreateTitleMenuArea
are recommended rather than overriding this method.- Overrides:
createContents
in classWindow
- Parameters:
parent
- the composite used to parent the contents.- Returns:
- the control representing the contents.
-
createDialogArea
protected Control createDialogArea(Composite parent)
Creates and returns the contents of the dialog (the area below the title area and above the info text area.The
PopupDialog
implementation of this framework method creates and returns a newComposite
with standard margins and spacing.The returned control's layout data must be an instance of
GridData
. This method must not modify the parent's layout.Subclasses must override this method but may call
super
as in the following example:Composite composite = (Composite) super.createDialogArea(parent); //add controls to composite as necessary return composite;
- Parameters:
parent
- the parent composite to contain the dialog area- Returns:
- the dialog area control

getFocusControl
protected Control getFocusControl()
Returns the control that should get initial focus. Subclasses may override this method.- Returns:
- the Control that should receive focus when the popup opens.
-
setTabOrder
protected void setTabOrder(Composite composite)
Sets the tab order for the popup. Clients should override to introduce specific tab ordering.- Parameters:
composite
- the composite in which all content, including the title area and info area, was created. This composite's parent is the shell.
-
hasTitleArea
protected boolean hasTitleArea()
Returns a boolean indicating whether the popup should have a title area at the top of the dialog. Subclasses may override. Default behavior is to have a title area if there is to be a menu or title text.- Returns:
true
if a title area should be created,false
if it should not.
-
hasInfoArea
protected boolean hasInfoArea()
Returns a boolean indicating whether the popup should have an info area at the bottom of the dialog. Subclasses may override. Default behavior is to have an info area if info text was provided at the time of creation.- Returns:
true
if a title area should be created,false
if it should not.
-
createTitleMenuArea
protected Control createTitleMenuArea(Composite parent)
Creates the title and menu area. Subclasses typically need not override this method, but instead should use the constructor parametersshowDialogMenu
andshowPersistAction
to indicate whether a menu should be shown, andcreateTitleControl
to to customize the presentation of the title.If this method is overridden, the returned control's layout data must be an instance of
GridData
. This method must not modify the parent's layout.- Parameters:
parent
- The parent composite.- Returns:
- The Control representing the title and menu area.
-
createTitleControl
protected Control createTitleControl(Composite parent)

GridData
. This method must not modify the parent's layout.- Parameters:
parent
- The parent composite.- Returns:
- The Control representing the title area.
-
createInfoTextArea
protected Control createInfoTextArea(Composite parent)
Creates the optional info text area. This method is only called if thehasInfoArea()
method returns true. Subclasses typically need not override this method, but may do so.If this method is overridden, the returned control's layout data must be an instance of
GridData
. This method must not modify the parent's layout.- Parameters:
parent
- The parent composite.- Returns:
- The control representing the info text area.

getPersistBounds
@Deprecated protected boolean getPersistBounds()
Deprecated.As of 3.4, please usegetPersistLocation()
orgetPersistSize()
to determine separately whether size or location should be persisted.Return a boolean indicating whether this dialog will persist its bounds. This value is initially set in the dialog's constructor, but can be modified if the persist bounds action is shown on the menu and the user has changed its value. Subclasses may override this method.- Returns:
true
if the dialog's bounds will be persisted,false
if it will not.- Restriction:
- Planned for deletion see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=531913

if it will not.- Since:
- 3.4
- See Also:
getPersistLocation()

open
public int open()
Opens this window, creating it first if it has not yet been created.This method is reimplemented for special configuration of PopupDialogs. It never blocks on open, immediately returning
OK
if the open is successful, orCANCEL
if it is not. It provides framework hooks that allow subclasses to set the focus and tab order, and avoids the use ofshell.open()
in cases where the focus should not be given to the shell initially.- Overrides:
open
in classWindow
- Returns:
- the return code
- See Also:
Window.open()
-
close
public boolean close()
Closes this window, disposes its shell, and removes this window from its window manager (if it has one).This method is extended to save the dialog bounds and initialize widget state so that the widgets can be recreated if the dialog is reopened. This method may be extended (
super.close
must be called).
-
getDialogSettings
protected IDialogSettings getDialogSettings()
Gets the dialog settings that should be used for remembering the bounds of the dialog. Subclasses should override this method when they wish to persist the bounds of the dialog.- Returns:
- settings the dialog settings used to store the dialog's location
and/or size, or
null
if the dialog's bounds should never be stored.
-
saveDialogBounds
protected void saveDialogBounds(Shell shell)
Saves the bounds of the shell in the appropriate dialog settings. The bounds are recorded relative to the parent shell, if there is one, or display coordinates if there is no parent shell. Subclasses typically need not override this method, but may extend it (callingsuper.saveDialogBounds
if additional bounds information should be stored. Clients may also call this method to persist the bounds at times other than closing the dialog.- Parameters:
shell
- The shell whose bounds are to be stored
-
getInitialSize
protected Point getInitialSize()
Description copied from class:Window
Returns the initial size to use for the shell. The default implementation returns the preferred size of the shell, usingShell.computeSize(SWT.DEFAULT, SWT.DEFAULT, true)
.- Overrides:
getInitialSize
in classWindow
- Returns:
- the initial size of the shell
-
getDefaultSize
protected Point getDefaultSize()
Return the default size to use for the shell. This default size is used if the dialog does not have any persisted size to restore. The default implementation returns the preferred size of the shell. Subclasses should override this method when an alternate default size is desired, rather than overridinggetInitialSize()
.- Returns:
- the initial size of the shell
- Since:
- 3.4
- See Also:
getPersistSize()
-
getDefaultLocation
protected Point getDefaultLocation(Point initialSize)
Returns the default location to use for the shell. This default location is used if the dialog does not have any persisted location to restore. The default implementation uses the location computed byWindow.getInitialLocation(Point)
. Subclasses should override this method when an alternate default location is desired, rather than overridinggetInitialLocation(Point)
.- Parameters:
initialSize
- the initial size of the shell, as returned bygetInitialSize
.- Returns:
- the initial location of the shell
- Since:
- 3.4
- See Also:
getPersistLocation()
-
adjustBounds
protected void adjustBounds()
Adjust the bounds of the popup as necessary prior to opening the dialog. Default is to do nothing, which honors any bounds set directly by clients or those that have been saved in the dialog settings. Subclasses should override this method when there are bounds computations that must be checked each time the dialog is opened.
-
getInitialLocation
protected Point getInitialLocation(Point initialSize)
Description copied from class:Window
Returns the initial location to use for the shell. The default implementation centers the shell horizontally (1/2 of the difference to the left and 1/2 to the right) and vertically (1/3 above and 2/3 below) relative to the parent shell, or display bounds if there is no parent shell.- Overrides:
getInitialLocation
in classWindow
