Panels

Introduction

These panels can be use to put focus on a particular element. The blurredPanel blurs the content of the window, the darkPanel makes the window darker.

Usage

The usage is very simple :

• You create a DarkPanel or a BlurredPanel
• You can change the radius value of the BlurredPanel or the alpha value of the DarkPanel
• You open the panel with the method show
• You close the panel with the method hide

final BlurredPanel p = new BlurredPanel(shell);

...

final Button ok = new Button(shell, SWT.PUSH);
ok.setText("Ok");
...
ok.addSelectionListener(new SelectionListener() {

	@Override
	public void widgetSelected(final SelectionEvent e) {

		p.show();
		Dialog.isConfirmed("Confirmation", "Are you sure you want to save this form ?");
		p.hide();
	}

	@Override
	public void widgetDefaultSelected(final SelectionEvent e) {
	}
});
