umm I tried it...and here is the code snippet...I relabled the myWizard and
myDialog because I had them flipped around...was hard to read it.
Inside my Application I have this code snippet when pressing a button:
final JDialog myDialog = new JDialog(myFrame);
WizardDialog myWizard = new WizardDialog(myDialog);
myDialog.getContentPane().add(myWizard);
myDialog.setModal(true);
myDialog.show();
// 'value' is an instance variable declared within myWizard
(double value)
System.out.println("Value(s) from the Wizard: "+myWizard.value);
Then in the Wizard JPanel I have the following code for the "Cancel" button:
myDialog.hide();
Note, I had to make the myDialog final (at the request/demand of the
compiler).
Thanks for the help, you all are awesome!

Hi Mario,
it's better to be a JDialog, mainly if you want it to be a modal one. I've
done it several times and it's working great.
So, create the JDialog, put your wizard inside, don't forget to call on the
dialog setModal(true), and when you want to display it just call .show()
method. The method won't return until you close the dialog, because it's
modal.
About passing the values: you just store them inside the dialog as instance
variables. Then in the code that invokes show(), after the method returns,
you grab the data from there.
Cheers,
Florin

Subject: [JAVA3D] ? Java Wizard ?
Ok, I'm posting on Thanksgiving too...I could not resist! And to top that,
I'm not even asking a java 3D question...only a java 2D one:
I want to add a "Wizard" to my application...basically a window that pops up
that guides a user through a series of inputs...I have this built.
The only thing I'm having trouble finding is how to make the wizard actually
pop up and how best to make it.
Basically, does anyone have a code snippet to show my how to pop up my
wizard window on top of my application?
AND, should this wizard be a JFrame or JPanel or what? ...note that I'll
need to be able to send the data from the wizard back to my main
program so if you have suggestions for this too then it would be
appreciated...
thanks,
Mario
