How to halt a method while a GUI completes it's task...
[114 byte] By [ponchoa] at [2007-11-27 9:11:51] 
Does anyone know how to stall a calling method which is calling a GUI, until the GUI is done w/ it's task?
Quit multi-posting. You already got an answer when you posted this question in the Swing forum.

I was hoping to not have to completely revamp my project! Is DoModal the only way? Do you know of a way to use DoModal w/ JFrame? Everything I see online is using JDialogs...

Because thats the proper way of designing an application. An application is meant to operate independently of other applications, which is why a button is added to the task bar, so you can select which application you want to work on. If the application needs additional information a dialog is displayed. It can be modal if the application needs to wait for the information to be entered, or non-modal if the dialog can stay open while using the rest of the application. When you close an application all dialogs related to the application are also closed.

It's easy enough to make the thread of the calling method wait for an ordinary frame to close (using wait, notify and a flag which indicates the completion).
You can write a couple of methods into the frame like:
[code]
private boolean completed = false;
private void finish() {
synchronized(this) {
completed = true;
notifyAll();
}
setVisible(false);
}
public sychronized synchronized waitForCompletion() throws InterruptedException {
while(!completed)
wait();
}

Cool, I'll try that now... Thanks, Joe

Would that actually go in the calling class or in the GUI class?

I see what you mean, but for some reason my while(! completed loop) is never entered. Any idea why, this is my code...

Aiyo! That's too much code! Post a small (< 1 page) example program to demonstrate your problem.
BigDaddyLoveHandlesa at 2007-7-12 21:57:48 >
This is the crux of the problem. When I call the GUI class I want the calling class to halt until the GUI gets it's info...
read_in_employees_from_file();
if( employee info is odd type )
{
call GUI class to open GUI
stop this method until GUI is finished
do stuff;
do more stuff
}
//in GUI class
open GUI to request user to rearrange info

Ah, I remember this code. I was one who said earlier to use a JDialog (among others).
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5189368&start=15&tstart=0
Frankly, your code really needs a lot of work. You're still not using the JFrame capabilities of the JFrame class (or JDialog capabilities, were it a JDialog). I'm again talking about the your having a class, correctOfficerGUI that extends JFrame but also has a JFrame variable "f" that is the frame that is displayed by the program. I recommended previously against doing this, and I continue to recommend against doing it.
I think that a total revamp would actually do the code a lot of good. This would force you to think about the program structure before committing code to compiler. I know that sometimes when I'm stuck on a basic problem that lies at the foundation of a project, I have sometimes had to do just this. Chuck out the old code and restart from afresh.
Good luck.

The issue w/ this is that I need multiple text fields in the GUI, thus I can not go w/ a JOptionPane...

I / we never said anything about JOptionPane. I said JDialog. Please look into the JDialog API in greater detail. I get the feeling that you really don't understand this component yet. This is not a simple JOptionPane (though they can get somewhat complex) but a fully functioning root pane and can do most anything a JFrame can do.

Always put your design "on paper" first. Learn UML and use it. Take a look at how your program is going to flow ... never jump into a project and just start coding. Work your way through it first, writing the process down. You'll see that a lot of the ideas you had floating around in your head won't work ... sometimes very fundamental things to your application. Work it through on paper first - once you get a result that flows cleanly, then you can start having fun ;-)

I figured out the halting GUI problem. This is what I did...
Thread t = Thread.currentThread();
if( name is of odd type )
{
correctOfficerGUI test = new correctOfficerGUI(tempElements1, lineCount, thrd);//launch GUI
test.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
synchronized (t)
{
t.wait();
//Make Thread Wait....It will be released in NameGUI
}
}//end if
//then in GUI class
synchronized (curThread)
{
t.notify();
//Notify our thread that it may resume executing!
//Destroy the GUI.....
}
...and it works as I wanted...

You can also use a laptap computer as a garden spade. Sure you can use it to dig up your garden, but is it the right tool for the job? Are you a computer sciences major by the way?
petes1234a at 2007-7-21 22:57:11 >
It's a different kind of modality from JDialog, I call it "Thread modal" as opposed to "system modal". It's useful in somewhat different circumstances, e.g. a background thread needs to ask for information, and you might want to do something else before supplying it.
But, personally, I think it's asking for future problems to use wait and notify without an accompanying flag.
