Question

I have an RCP Application where upen delete, MessageDialog is used for confirming the delete operation. One of the button as you can see in the code below, is a “preview” button, where if clicked, another dialog will popup to display more info about the intended operation consequences. This “preview” button is closing my main MessageDialog one by default somehow.. What should I do to make it not close the main dialog?

MessageDialog dialog =
         new MessageDialog(null, "Dangerous Activity", null,
                    "Are you sure you want to delete?", MessageDialog.CONFIRM,
                    new String[]{"Preview>", "Delete", "Cancel"}, 0);

     int dialogResult = dialog.open();
     // if preview button is selected
      if (dialogResult == 0) {
           // open another dialog for a second more informative warning
           // but DO NOT CLOSE THE CURRENT MAIN ONE..HOW TO?

            }

I appreciate any help!

thank you,

Try overriding the buttonPressed method on MessageDialog:

MessageDialog dialog =
     new MessageDialog(null, "Dangerous Activity", null,
                "Are you sure you want to delete?", MessageDialog.CONFIRM,
                new String[]{"Preview>", "Delete", "Cancel"}, 0)
{
protected void buttonPressed(int buttonId) {
    setReturnCode(buttonId);
    // close(); Call close for Delete or Cancel?
}};
