ConfirmationDialog

ConfirmDialog for Vaadin is available as jar/Maven from Vaadin Directory

Ever needed a present a confirmation dialog in a Vaadin application?

Here is a way to do it nicely. The ConfirmDialog add-on provides you with a configurable way of requesting user confirmation for a button click or some other some operation.

Defaults like size calculation, keyboard bindings and styling are all there, but of course you can provide your own. Take a look at the demo application for sample code and use cases.

Currently only two-way (yes,no) confirmation is supported. Vote for three-way (yes,no,cancel) if you need it. And for "monolog box" use the Vaadin's own showNotification method.

This is a server-side-only component, so no need to recompile the widgetset.

Usage of the add-on

private void addBasicExample() {
	Button button = new Button("Basic");
	button.setDebugId("basic");
	button.addListener(new Button.ClickListener() {
		public void buttonClick(ClickEvent event) {
			// The quickest way to confirm
			ConfirmDialog.show(getMainWindow(), "Are you sure?",
			        new ConfirmDialog.Listener() {

			            public void onClose(ConfirmDialog dialog) {
			                if (dialog.isConfirmed()) {
			                    // Confirmed to continue
								// DO STUFF
			                } else {
			                    // User did not confirm
								// CANCEL STUFF
			                }
			            }
			        });
		}
	});
