Hi Robert,

I confirm that the new version works perfectly in a multiple monitor setup. In fact, it works whichever monitor I use.

Thanks a bunch!

Hi rwblinn,

here a small addition from my side, perhaps it should find it's way into the great(!) library on the next update.
Opening a TextInputDialog3 without a preset text, the textfield didn't get the initial focus, which I found very annoying.

So I made the following code changes:

B4X:

import javafx.application.Platform;
...
final TextField field1 = new TextField();
Platform.runLater(new Runnable() {
         @Override
         public void run() {
            field1.requestFocus();
        }
});

Maybe this could also work for other dialogs, setting the focus to the preferred view.

Hi,

very good catch - appreciated. I have updated the library accordingly. See next post.

rwblinn · Oct 11, 2015

Update 20151011 - Post #1 lists all the methods.
UPD:Textfield gets initial focus when opening dialogs TextInputDialog, TextInputDialog2, TextInputDialog3, LoginDialog, LoginDialog2, TextAreaDialog.
@specci48 : Many thanks for this improvement.

Rob, I'm getting a LOT of use from this library. Two things to add to the wish list:

MessageHTMLDialog:

1.) Include the ability to link to anchors, i.e. <a href="#niftystuff">Jump to nifty stuff</a> and then further down <a name="niftystuff"></a>

2.) The ability to link to an external browser, rather than calling the external link into the dialogue.

I'm not complaining, I love this library!

rwblinn · Apr 11, 2016

Update 20160411 - Post #1 lists all the methods.
UPD:MessageHTMLDialog handles anchors if defined like href="#myanchor" ... name="myanchor" ...
@TorontoJim : Thanks for the enhancement suggestions. Number 1 is implemented, number 2 is on the ToDo list (not found proper way to do so).

@rwblinn - This is a really amazing library! Thanks for this!

Hi Robert,

Is it possible to add the following functionalities:

1. Set a default selected item in the list for ChoiceDialog, SelectDialog, ListDialog, and ListDialog2.
2. Support enter key to select an item from the list (ChoiceDialog, SelectDialog, ListDialog, and ListDialog2). This is to support keyboard keys.
3. Support escape key to exit while the focus is in the list (ChoiceDialog, SelectDialog, ListDialog, and ListDialog2). This is to support keyboard keys.

I hope this is not asking for too much.

Thank you in advance.

rwblinn · Aug 1, 2016

Update 20160801 - Post #1 lists all the methods.
UPD:Set default selected item for ChoiceDialog, SelectDialog, ListDialog, and ListDialog2.
@Suntzu: For your post #30 requests 2&3 have not found a solution yet (need to explore). Recommend to use tab and enter keys in the meantime.

Suntzu · Aug 1, 2016

It worked like a charm. Thank you so much, Robert.

Hello ,

Sometimes the toastmessage does not appear on the screen, i can see a icon coming in the taskbar and disappearing but not a toast message on the screen.

B4X:

Dlg.Initialize  
Dlg.ToastMessage("Text",5000)

Am i doing something wrong?
Regards
Philip

Hi,

have tested few scenarios using jRLDialogs 1.47, B4J 4.70, Java 1.8.0_112, to verify the issue mentioned in post #33. See below.
Could it be, that the toastmessage is hidden by a form (see Test 3 below)?
Could you share more code info when calling toastmessage, so I can verify further.

B4X:

' Test1 ToastMessage: OK
  MainForm = Form1
  MainForm.RootPane.LoadLayout("Main")
  Dlg.Initialize
  MainForm.Show
  Dlg.ToastMessage("TEST ToastMessage", 5000)

' Test2 ToastMessage: OK
  MainForm = Form1
  MainForm.RootPane.LoadLayout("Main")
  MainForm.Show
  Dlg.Initialize
  Dlg.ToastMessage("TEST ToastMessage", 5000)

' Test3 ToastMessage: The message appears first, but then hidden by the mainform showed in the foreground. To show the toastmessage in the foreground, the mainform layout must be shown prior calling toastmessage.
  Dlg.Initialize
  Dlg.ToastMessage("TEST ToastMessage", 5000)
  MainForm = Form1
  MainForm.RootPane.LoadLayout("Main")
  MainForm.Show

Philip Prins · Jan 14, 2017

Tnx, If i call MainForm.show first the problem is gone

Regards,
Philip

Hi and thank you for the library. Is it possible to use TextInputDialog2 to input 3 fields (smtpserver, user name, passw)? Thanks in advance.

rwblinn · Apr 24, 2017

Hi,

thanks for your request.
The library does not support a dialog for two text fields and a password field. See below reference what is supported.
Two possible options to solve your request using the library:
a) Create two dialogs: one for the smtpserver using TextInputDialog and the next for username/password using LoginDialog
b) Enhance the library with a method LoginDialog3 which has two text fields and a password field (no icon) - I can do that after B4J v5.50 is released.

Reference
For login, current versions has two methods which return a map holding username and password. Each dialog has two fields from type text and password.
'Show a Login Dialog.

B4X:

LoginDialog(Title As String , Header As String) As Map

'Show a Login Dialog with Icon and default UserName.

B4X:

LoginDialog2(Title As String , Header As String, UserName As String) As Map

B4X:

TextInputDialog2

has two text fields. Not suitable for your request.

Hi,
Thank you for the quick reply. The two dialogs solution (TextInputDialog3 and LoginDialog) worked like a charme. Now I only need to localize 'Username' and 'Password' (translate into Portuguese). Can it be done? Thanks again, Rob.

Not (yet) possible. Work in progress to include in the next version which will use B4J v5.50.
