public abstract class DialogProgram

extends Program

This class is a standard subclass of Program that takes its input from a IODialog object.

Constructor Summary

DialogProgram()

Method Summary

IOModel	getInputModel() Returns the IOModel used for program input.
IOModel	getOutputModel() Returns the IOModel used for program output.
void	run() Contains the code to be executed for each specific program subclass.

Constructor Detail

public DialogProgram()

Creates a new dialog program.

Usage:

DialogProgram program = new DialogProgram();

Method Detail

public IOModel getInputModel()

Returns the IOModel used for program input.

Usage:	IOModel io = program.getInputModel();
Returns:	The IOModel used for program input

public IOModel getOutputModel()

Returns the IOModel used for program output.

Usage:	IOModel io = program.getOutputModel();
Returns:	The IOModel used for program output

public void run()

Contains the code to be executed for each specific program subclass. If you are defining your own DialogProgram class, you need to override the definition of run so that it contains the code for your application.
