JFace wizard: about the getNextPage methods

Question

i am creating right now a jface wizard and wondering about those getNextPage() methods. There a two of them. One in the Wizard class and one in the WizardPage class.

The getNextPage() method in the WizardPage is the event for the next button. The getNextPage(IWizardPage page) method in the Wizard is for controlling the page order.

First try: When i use both methods, only the getNextPage() of the WizardPage getting called. Well its stupid to control the page orders in the page-classes. (modifiers..) but i have a event on my next button.

Second try: When i only use the getNextPage(IWizardPage page) of the Wizard class i can control the page order easy but i don't have an event on my next button, so i cannot collect all my information from the current page.

How does this all fit together and is there a seperate way to solve this?!

Best regards!

Answer 1

The default implementation of WizardPage.getNextPage() just calls Wizard.getNextPage(this) so if you override it you should call super.getNextPage().

If you want to know when the wizard page becomes visible override setVisible(boolean visible) in the WizardPage (actually a DialogPage member).
