Alert

[Sandro Martini <sa...@gmail.com>]

Hi to all,
I've seen that Alerts by default have no positioning in the application screen.

Would it be possible to have by default at the center of the application area ?

See the screenshot (in the zip, in attach).


Should i open a ticket in jira ?


Ah, the text error in Bold here in not the best (in my opinion), at
least on Windows.
What do you think ?

Bye,
Sandro

Hi Todd,

Ok, but probably it's a strange situation that cause the error alert
to display at (0,0) instead of being centered ...

Ok, my complaint here was only that the Graphic result in this case is
not so good, at least on Windows (see the screenshot in the previous
mail).

If you're using a class name that doesn't exist, that sounds like the right
exception.  As to the bold font, the alert's message is bolded, but it's not
designed (from a graphical design point of view) to hold a long string --
for that, I'd use the body component.

I've tried to run a sample with a wrong class name, and this is the stacktrace:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.pivot.wtk.test.FormTestBad
	at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:200)
	at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
	at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:188)
	at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:307)
	at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:301)
	at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:252)

	at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:169)
	at org.apache.pivot.wtk.DesktopApplicationContext.main(DesktopApplicationContext.java:377)

This is a strange case but useful to have fixed.


And on the bold font here, what do you think ?

IIRC, alerts will center themselves over their owner.  Is the one in the
example an ownerless alert?

This was happening because the alert was being opened before the  
display was given a size. I updated DesktopApplicationContext to open  
the host frame before attempting to load the application. The alert is  
now centered.

I think default centering is the right behavior, so my mail with
probable bug happen in the case showed over, for Alert ... should I
open a jira ticket ?

Tell me.

I thought that ownerless alerts would center themselves on the  
display. Take a look in the Dialog class.
