public class UserInput
extends ModalDialog

An input dialog for a string value which displays a title, prompt, and default.

Displays a titled modal dialog with a query icon, a prompt string, an input field, and Cancel and OK buttons. When OK is pressed the text entered in the input field is available using the getInputText() method. When Cancel is pressed, getInputText() returns a null value for the input string.

Example:

// Get user's name. UserInput userInput = UserInput uidInput = new UserInput( parentFrame, "Your name" ), "Please enter your full name:", "" ); // Get user's input. String fullName = userInput.getInputText(); // If input is null, Cancel button // was pressed. Otherwise the text // is what the user entered. if ( fullName == null ) { ... handle name not entered } else { ... handle name entered }
