Enum MDIDialogType

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<MDIDialogType>

org.mdi.bootstrap.MDIDialogType

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<MDIDialogType>

public enum MDIDialogType
extends java.lang.Enum<MDIDialogType>

The enumeration for dialog opening types in the MDIFramework application. Using this enumeration with the MDIDialogHelper.showDialog(org.mdi.bootstrap.swing.MDIDialog, org.mdi.bootstrap.MDIDialogType) method allows to use an alternative model to dialog modality in the application:

• Contrary to modal dialogs, the GUI of other windows is not blocked when the dialog is opened, but is is not possible to open another dialog in the application (of the same type or of any type)

Enum Constant Detail

UNIQUE_ALL

public static final MDIDialogType UNIQUE_ALL

Unique dialog for all dialog classes. When opened through MDIDialogHelper.showDialog(org.mdi.bootstrap.swing.MDIDialog, org.mdi.bootstrap.MDIDialogType) only one dialog can be opened at the same time.

UNIQUE_INSTANCE

public static final MDIDialogType UNIQUE_INSTANCE

Unique dialog for the dialog class. When opened through MDIDialogHelper.showDialog(org.mdi.bootstrap.swing.MDIDialog, org.mdi.bootstrap.MDIDialogType) only one dialog of the same class can be opened at the same time. Note that in this case:

• It will be by default impossible to open any instance of the JComponent sub-class used for the dialog (which must implement the MDIDialog interface)
• If the JComponent used for the dialog has the MDIDialogID component property, it will be impossible to open any instance of the JComponent sub-class used for the dialog with the same MDIDialogID component property

UNLIMITED

public static final MDIDialogType UNLIMITED

Unlimited dialogs for all dialog classes.

Method Detail

values

public static MDIDialogType[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (MDIDialogType c : MDIDialogType.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static MDIDialogType valueOf(java.lang.String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
