Description Jan Becicka 2000-07-10 12:52:04 UTC

[Build 1053]
Comment 1 Jan Becicka 2000-07-10 13:51:59 UTC 
File | Preferences | System Settings | Confirm Delete is set to True. If this
setting is set to False and then back to True the problem is fixed.
Comment 2 Jaroslav Tulach 2000-07-13 13:00:59 UTC 
The debugger is causing the problem. Here is the stacktrace that disables the
confirmation dialog:

        at
org.openide.explorer.ExplorerActions.setConfirmDelete(ExplorerActions.java:108)
        at
org.openide.explorer.ExplorerPanel.setConfirmDelete(ExplorerPanel.java:195)
        at
org.netbeans.modules.debugger.support.nodes.DebuggerView.<init>(DebuggerView.jav
a:67)

Please change this code. My suggestion would be to use your own ExplorerAction
object (I guess that DebuggerView is subclass of ExplorerPanel):

  // add private variable
  private ExplorerActions actions = new ExplorerActions ();

  protected void componentActivated () {
    actions.attach (getExplorerManager ());
  }

  protected void componentDeactivated () {
    actions.detach ();
  }

Ok?
Comment 3 Jesse Glick 2000-07-18 19:59:59 UTC 
Gaak. We *really* need a better way to do this. IMHO
ExplorerActions/DeleteAction should never display a dialog, this should be a
function of the DataNode.delete, and there should be some standard way in the
APIs to tell if something is being called interactively or not.

Resolved for 3.3.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
