RE: [OpenMap Users] Pop-up window

Hi there -
 
I do something very similar to this in my OpenMap app. What I've done is
override
 
public void setVisible(boolean visible) { ... }
 
in my custom layer which ultimately extends the OpenMap Layer class. When
this is called and visible is true, you create your popup window and show
it. When visible is false, you hide your popup. This approach seems to work
quite well for us.
 
If you are asking about actually creating a java Window, there are many
resources on the net for help with Swing and AWT. Just FYI...what I have
done is actually create a custom JDialog extension class (e.g. MyDialog)
which is able to take another custom JPanel extension class I created (e.g.
MyPanel) and put it into its content pane. This is done inside the MyDialog
constructor which takes a MyPanel as an argument and does this:
 
    this.getContentPane().add(mypanel);

Then, you just basically call show() on the dialog after creating it and
passing your custom JPanel. There may be an easier way but I've found this
gives me the most flexibility.

Subject: [OpenMap Users] Pop-up window

Hi,
 
When I turn on a layer, I would like to get a pop-up window to feed input
data for the particular layer.
 
How I should create a popup window? I greatly appreciate your help.
 
Thank you
 
Regards
Rajkumar
