Dynamic dialogs!

Version 1.8 allows you to change a dialog while it is shown on screen. You can modifiy components (change text, label, colors, value lists etc.) and you can even add or remove components. See an example in action:

To make this possible, several new methods have been added:

• added name property to all components to easily get access to a component by name in a CustomDialog using getComponent()
• CustomDialog: added optional index parameter to addComponent to insert a component at the given index
• CustomDialog: added addComponentAfter() to add a new component after the given component
• CustomDialog: added addComponentBefore() to add a new component before the given component
• CustomDialog: added getComponent(String name/int index) to get a specific component from a dialog
• CustomDialog: added removeComponent(String name/int index) to remove a specific component from the dialog
• CustomDialog: added rebuildDialog() to rebuild a visible dialog (useful when components were added or removed)
• List: added doubleClickClosesDialog property to automatically close the dialog when the user double clicks an item in the list
• List: added setOnListSelectionMethod() to assign a method that is called when the user selects an item in the list
• TextField: added setOnDataChangeMethod() to assign a method that is called whenever the field's content is changed
• TextArea: added setOnDataChangeMethod() to assign a method that is called whenever the field's content is changed

As usual, the new version is free for registered users and can be obtained from the Downloads section.
