B4J Library Starchild_B4J_Dialogs

This library contains three simple and stylish Dialog classes. They are intended to provide an App styled user interface to the B4J window/form environment.

  • A ToastMsg class to present a single or multi-line banner momentarily on top of the owner form.
  • A MsgBox class to present more complex information to the user with an icon, title and multi-line message body then requesting the user to acknowledge by clicking on one of the three button choices. This is a NON-BLOCKING dialog box that presents centrally on top of the owner form.
  • An InputBox class to firstly present the user with information but requesting user data entry (can use limited text types, lengths, multi-line, etc) then requesting the user to acknowledge by clicking on one of the three button choices. This is a NON-BLOCKING dialog box that presents centrally on top of the owner form.
Dialogs are a convenient way to interrupt the normal program operation, grab the user’s immediate attention, and provide a controlled and simplified data entry and user response mechanism that can be easily and sequentially coded using “Wait For” and “Select Case” language commands.

Simple to use:
Dim MB as Starchild_B4J_MsgBox
Dim TM as Starchild_B4J_ToastMsg

MB.Initialize(MainForm,Me)
TM.Initialize(MainForm,Me)

MB.MsgBox(“Hello World”,“This is a MsgBox”)

Wait For (MB) Click

Select MB.Response
    Case MB. RESPONSE_POSITIVE
        TM.ToastMsg(“You Clicked the <OK> button”)
        Wait For (TM) Finished
End Select

Log (“Done”)

I am assuming you are using OpenJDK
I am using Java 8 (jdk1.8.0_192).

It appears that OpenJDK has removed the class
javafx$scene$text$TextBuilder
from OpenJDK v2.00 and above.

I will need to load OpenJDK and debug this further.
I will get back to you with a fix in 24hrs.

It can now be run under OpenJDK.
I have updated the Starchild B4J_Dialogs library to v2.01 in the Top Post.
I have also reposted the Example ZIP with some minor changes.
