public abstract class JASWizardPage

extends javax.swing.JPanel

implements java.awt.event.KeyListener

Extend this class to create a page for the JASWizard. Implement the interface HasNextPages if you want there to be pages following this page, and implement the Finishable interface if you want this to be the final page. You may implement one or both, but implementing neither would be silly because then neither the "Next" nor "Finish" button will enable and your page will be a "dead end". Implement HasHelpPage if you want your page to link to a help topic. Override the methods getNextEnabled() and getFinishEnabled() to control how the "Next" and "Finish" buttons enable.

This class is a KeyListener and has implemented the interface with non-final methods. If you do not override these methods, doEnable() will be called when a key is released on components registered as KeyListeners. This implementation is designed for when the buttons enable when text is added to them. For example, if you page had
m_text = new JASTextField();
text.addKeyListener(this);

then the "Next" and "Finish" buttons would enable each time a key is released in the field text. You might define getNextEnabled() as follows:

 protected boolean getNextEnabled()
 {
		final String s = m_text.getText();
		return s != null && s.length() > 0;
 }

Constructor Detail

JASWizardPage

public JASWizardPage(java.awt.LayoutManager lm)

Supply a layout manager for the panel to use. See Sun's notes on using layout managers. In the constructor of your subclass, add components to the page as you would add components to a regular container, using the add(..) methods. It is not a good idea to use AWT components here because those heavy-weight components do not mix well with swing's light-weight components. You should use only swing components. The jas.util package has a number of utility components that may be useful for these pages.

Parameters:

lm - the layout manager to use for this page.

LayoutManager

Method Detail

getNextEnabled

protected boolean getNextEnabled()

Override to provide customized behaviour for enabling the "Next" button. By default, this method returns whether the page implements HasNextPages. If your page does not implement that interface, the "Next" button will never enable. Call doEnable() to call this method, or add your page as a key listener to a component, and then doEnable() will be called each time a key is released in that component.

Returns:

whether to enable the "Next" button

See Also:

doEnable(), HasNextPages

getFinishEnabled

protected boolean getFinishEnabled()

Override to provide customized behaviour for enabling the "Finish" button. By default, this method returns whether the page implements Finishable. If your page does not implement that interface, the "Finish" button will never enable. Call doEnable() to call this method, or add your page as a key listener to a component, and then doEnable() will be called each time a key is released in that component.

Returns:

whether to enable the "Finish" button

See Also:

doEnable(), Finishable

doEnable

protected void doEnable()

Forces the wizard to call getNextEnabled() and getFinishEnabled() to enable the buttons on the wizard. This method is called by the keyReleased(KeyEvent) method if you add this class as a KeyListener to a text field.

See Also:

getNextEnabled(), getFinishEnabled(), keyReleased(KeyEvent), KeyEvent, KeyListener

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

This method is public as an implementation side effect; do not call.

Overrides:

toString in class java.awt.Component

dispose

protected void dispose()

Call to dispose the wizard (i.e., to have it close).

onCancel

public void onCancel()

This method is called if the user has canceled the wizard. By default it does nothing, but you can override it to perform cleanup if necessary. The wizard follows a preorder tree traversal, so the onCancel() methods are called starting from the bottom and working up each branch separately to the root.

keyPressed

public void keyPressed(java.awt.event.KeyEvent e)

Override this to provide your own behaviour for key events; does nothing by default.

Specified by:

keyPressed in interface java.awt.event.KeyListener

keyReleased

public void keyReleased(java.awt.event.KeyEvent e)

If you add this class as a KeyListener and don't override this method then the buttons will be enabled on every key event in the definition for this method.

Specified by:

keyReleased in interface java.awt.event.KeyListener

beforeShowing

public void beforeShowing()

This method is called just before the page is brought to the screen. By default, it does nothing but you can override it to do some last-minute setup on your page.

doBusy

public void doBusy(java.lang.Runnable run)

keyTyped

public void keyTyped(java.awt.event.KeyEvent e)

Override this to provide your own behaviour for key events; does nothing by default.

Specified by:

keyTyped in interface java.awt.event.KeyListener
