Method Detail

setCustomButtonText

public static void setCustomButtonText(org.openide.WizardDescriptor wizard,
                                       Object option,
                                       String text)

Setter for the button texts of a wizard. Currently supported buttons are:

• WizardDescriptor.FINISH_OPTION
• NotifyDescriptor.CANCEL_OPTION
• WizardDescriptor.PREVIOUS_OPTION
• WizardDescriptor.NEXT_OPTION

For more info on the possible options regarding the new text see Mnemonics.setLocalizedText(javax.swing.AbstractButton, java.lang.String).

IMPORTANT: As the wizard api currently does not support changes of the button text individually (per instance) this utility operation does it the "dirty" way via reflection. Thus this implementation is currently valid for the 'org-openide-dialogs' artifact in version 'RELEASE701' and may break when any other version is used. Thus this operation shall be removed when an official way is provided. Discussion at NetBeans User Forum

Parameters:

wizard - the wizard instance that shall be affected by the change

option - the button type whose text shall be set

text - the text for the button

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if any error occurs during text change
