Class DialogHelper

public class DialogHelper

Presents uniform key bindings for dialog box, so ESCAPE key sloses dialog
box and ENTER acts as default button.
example of usage:

public class MyGuiBuilder implements ActionListener {

public MyGuiBuilder() {



myDialog = IdeAccess.getWindowManager().createDialog(null);

// or

// myDialog=new JDialog();

// if its non-Together's dialog



DialogHelper.bindEscapeKeyAction(myDialog, this);

DialogHelper.bindEnterKeyAction(myDialog, this);

initComponents();

DialogHelper.setDefaultButton(myDialog, myOkButton);

}



public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {

String actionCommand = evt.getActionCommand();

if (IdeButtonType.CANCEL.equals(actionCommand)) {

doSomeWorkonCancel();

myDialog.dispose();

myDialog = null;

} else if (IdeButtonType.OK.equals(actionCommand)) {

doSomeWorkonOK();

myDialog.dispose();

myDialog = null;

}

}

private JDialog myDialog;

private JButton myOkButton;

}
