MultiplePageDialog pack()

[jtheuer]

Hi, I created a MPD. But its initial size is very small. Furthermore, the buttons stick at the bottom-right border, I expected a cleaner look when I read the pdf tutorial. Did I do something wrong?

Code: Select all

All our dialog pages are lazily loaded. You don't want to load them when the dialog is created as it could take a long time to create all the pages in the MPD. So the way you pack() in the constructor will stop this lazy loading from working. The correct way is to do it outside. Just take a look at our demo and try to use the same pattern as we are using in the demo.

Thanks,
