Hi Philippe,
yes, I would also like to have more functionality for additional
buttons, and I am sometimes "misusing" the "No" button for such purposes.
In your sample code, after gd.showDialog() I think that the code will
never again be able to react to the dialog, even if the dialog remains
on the screen?
So I think we need some callback, using the DialogListener and/or
ActionListener interface.
So my dream would be a GenericDialog method
Button[] addBottomButtons(String[] buttonLabels)
which adds one or more buttons at the position where usually the 'no'
button would appear.
Or, alternatively,
Button addBottomButton(String buttonLabel)
which could be called multiple times (the buttons would go into a Vector
or ArrayList)
Then the user plugin could either use the references to the buttons and
register as an ActionListener for them, or it could register as
DialogListener and it would get its dialogItemChanged method called when
the user presses a button while the dialog window is still open.
Of course, the same could be done already now by adding a panel with the
buttons, and registering for each of them as ActionListener, but that is
more cumbersome, and in many cases one wants the button(s) at the bottom.
(unfortunately, I can't quickly do the coding now; too much unfinished
work on my desk)
