BUILDING APPLICATIONS WITH VISUAL JAVABEANS
4. In the buildandShow() method, call the createCustomizeDialog() method to
instantiate the Customize dialog box. Also instantiate the customizeCB
JCheckBox:
public void buildAndShow() throws IOException {
JPanel mapTOCPanel = buildMapTOCPanel();
createCustomizeDialog();
customizeCB = new JCheckBox("Customize");
5. In the addEventListeners method, add a listener to the customizeCB
JCheckBox to start and close the Customize dialog box:
public void addEventListeners() throws IOException {
...
customizeCB.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
try {
if (customizeCB.isSelected()) {
customizeDialog.startDialog(toolbar.getHWnd());
} else {
customizeDialog.closeDialog();
}
} catch (Exception ee) {
ee.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
...
6. To add the Customize check box to the GUI, modify the buildAndShow
method to add the toolbar and check box to a new JPanel. Add this panel to
the BorderLayout.NORTH position instead of adding just the toolbar in that
position.
JPanel topPanel = new JPanel();
topPanel.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
topPanel.add(toolbar, BorderLayout.CENTER);
topPanel.add(customizeCB, BorderLayout.EAST);
this.getContentPane().add(topPanel, BorderLayout.NORTH);
this.getContentPane().add(toolbar, BorderLayout.NORTH);//delete
this line
this.getContentPane().add(pageLayout, BorderLayout.CENTER);
this.getContentPane().add(mapTOCPanel, BorderLayout.WEST);
7. In the addEventListeners method, add an event listener to the Customize dialog
box to put the toolbar in the customize state when the dialog box is started
and in the normal state when it is closed. Since these events are not generated
by Java’s event dispatching thread, modifications to the customizeCB check
box should be made via the SwingUtilities class:
private void addEventListeners() throws IOException {
...
});
customizeDialog.addICustomizeDialogEventsListener(new
ICustomizeDialogEvents(){
