Cancel Button does not Work in Custom Dialog

[John_Cook]

Help!

I created a custom dialog, based on the "Cancel" dialog. My custom Dialog is called "AlreadyInstalled". I successfully added the custom dialog to my pre-install wizard sequence, and I successfully added the condition to the dialog to make it appear at the correct time.

When I specialized this dialog, i was able to set its title properties OK and to add the text label properties I wanted. The dialog already comes with the cancel button, which is what I wanted.

However, when testing this dialog during actual installs, the cancel button does not work. If I click it, it changes color (like a button press), but no event seems to be firing.

I could not find anything about the need to hook an event handler into this dialog. I have tried a couple of things, but they do not work. Here is my current code:

{
SwingWizardUI consoleUI = (SwingWizardUI )arg0.getWizardUI();
consoleUI.cancelAction();
}
}

I do not think you need to add any code for the canel button in your custom dialog! It's inherited from whatever Category you created your dialog in ie:

Begin
Cancel
Finish
Main
etc...

What happens if you just remove all the code for the Cancel Button and try rerunning it!!!

I had a problem that sounds similar to this. I fixed it by editing FrameCancel.java and changed cancelAction() to doCancel().
