How to detect which button was pressed in MessageBox.confirm

[Daniel Kurka]

I want to use MessageBox.confirm to confirm a user action. In the explorer demo there is an example, but it is using the text of the button to determine which one was pressed. I cant do that because my buttons are going to have differrent texts at runtime.

How can I determine if the Okay button or the cancel button was pressed?

Also i would like to change the text of the buttons (i18n)

final Listener<WindowEvent> l = new Listener<WindowEvent>() {
            public void handleEvent(WindowEvent ce) {
                Dialog dialog = (Dialog) ce.component;
                Button btn = dialog.getButtonPressed();
                Info.display("MessageBox", "The '{0}' button was pressed", btn.
                        getText());
            }
        };

        MessageBox.confirm("Confirm", "Are you sure you want to do that?", l);

Hi.
try Dialog.OK.equals(btn.getItemId())

I'm using Dialog.YES.equals(btn.getItemId())

Thanks for the help. I struggled with this because I was using MessageBoxEvent
instead of WindowEvent. MessageBoxEvent is said to include a Dialog, but
that was null so I was unable to track down the button.

A nice enhancement might be to include "String buttonId" in MessageBoxEvent,
so I could easily obtain the button that was pressed along with the value of text
in my prompt field. Just a suggestion.

MessageBox.confirm("Confirm", "Are you sure?", new Listener<MessageBoxEvent>() {
                    
    @Override
    public void handleEvent(MessageBoxEvent be) {
                        
                Button btn =be.getButtonClicked();                       
                 if(Dialog.YES.equalsIgnoreCase(btn.getItemId()))
                {
                                    // ur stuff
                 }
   }
});
