How do I show that a user has filled an invalid input into my wizard?
Set the WizardPanel_errorMessage
property in the WizardPanel instance that is related to the displayed panel.
Example:
wizardDescriptor.putProperty("WizardPanel_errorMessage", NbBundle.getMessage(MyPanel1.class, "key"));
Note: Since WizardDescritor, spec.version 7.8 (i.e.since NetBeans 6.5 Platform)
-
you can use
WizardDescriptor.PROP_ERROR_MESSAGE
instead of "WizardPanel_errorMessage". -
beside
WizardDescriptor.PROP_ERROR_MESSAGE
you can also useWizardDescriptor.PROP_WARNING_MESSAGE
for warning messages orWizardDescriptor.PROP_INFO_MESSAGE
for information messages. -
All kind of messages will be badged with appropriate icons: error , warning , info
-
To clean the message just call
wizardDescriptor.putProperty(WizardDescriptor.PROP_ERROR_MESSAGE, null);
You can obtain the instance of WizardDescriptor
in the WizardDescriptor.Panel.readSettings
as settings
parameter method.
Update in NetBeans 6.8
Two new methods in NotifyDescriptor
were added to allow API client to create NotificationLineSupport which allow handling error/warning/info messages in dialogs. If a dialog descriptor creates this support, DialogDisplayer
allocates necessary space at the bottom of dialog where API clients can set info/warning/error messages with appropriate icons.
