Thanks for the reply. I messed around with the themes and seem to have found that
viewtopic.php?f=18&t=4859 theme works just fine. Maybe I wasn’t using the correct theme names in the other XML files, but at least this one works.
Right so as I was writing my reply with my new bugs, I seem to have fixed them.
Your advice works just fine, I got a SimpleDialog window to appear. I think I’m going to try get the PopupWindow to work (update its working – correctly? We shall see). This is because it seems more customisable, and I’ll need to use it again in another state asking the user for a name.
When you say you can’t add the PopupWindow as a child to any widget, you’re saying the only way to view the PopupWindow is through the method popupWindow.openPopup();. Not by rootpane.add(popupWindow);, because at the moment the only way I can see anything to do with the PopupWindow is by adding it to the rootpane. Here’s my code for the PopupWindow:
Code:
@Override
protected RootPane createRootPane() {
rp = super.createRootPane();
createPopupWindow();
return rp;
}
@Override
protected void layoutRootPane() {
if(pW.isOpen() == true){
pW.adjustSize();
pW.centerPopup();
//pW.setPosition(50, 50);
}
}
Code:
public void createPopupWindow(){
loadPanel = new DialogLayout();
btnOK = new Button("Yes");
btnOK.setTheme("button");
btnOK.addCallback(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
try {
sL.loadGame();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
loadGame = true;
counter = 5000;
}
});
btnNo = new Button("No");
btnNo.setTheme("button");
btnNo.addCallback(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
//Clear everything in the saved file?
counter = 1000;
loadGame = true;
}
});
btnCancel = new Button("Cancel");
btnCancel.setTheme("button");
btnCancel.addCallback(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
pW.closePopup();
pW.setVisible(false);
pW.destroy();
}
});
loadQuestion = new Label();
loadQuestion.setText("Would you like to carry on with your old game?");
DialogLayout.Group popupLabelH = loadPanel.createSequentialGroup(loadQuestion);
DialogLayout.Group popupBoxH = loadPanel.createSequentialGroup()
.addGap()
.addWidget(btnOK)
.addGap(20)
.addWidget(btnNo)
.addGap(20)
.addWidget(btnCancel)
.addGap();
DialogLayout.Group popupLabelV = loadPanel.createParallelGroup(loadQuestion);
DialogLayout.Group popupBoxV = loadPanel.createParallelGroup(btnOK, btnNo, btnCancel);
loadPanel.setHorizontalGroup(loadPanel.createParallelGroup(popupLabelH, popupBoxH));
loadPanel.setVerticalGroup(loadPanel.createSequentialGroup(popupLabelV, popupBoxV));
pW = new PopupWindow(loadPanel);
pW.setTheme("resizableframe"); //panel, resizableframe?
pW.add(loadPanel);
pW.setVisible(true);
pW.openPopup();
rp.add(pW);
}
The issue I have at the moment is that the PopupWindow is already initialised and on display. I can’t seem to create the popup when I click my start button. (At the moment my start button is a slick2d image but I’ll be changing that later to a TWL button with the same image I have now.) I've tried moving snippets of code around to create the PopupWindow but only display it when clicking the StartButton, all similar to this but I get the errors:
Thu Aug 02 15:22:17 BST 2012 ERROR:Game.update() failure - check the game code.
org.newdawn.slick.SlickException: Game.update() failure - check the game code.
I have a feeling it's to do with the situation I described above, with openPopup() and add(popupWindow), cause at the moment if I comment out openPopup(), it's still visible. But without .add() I don't see anything.
Any ideas? Thanks.

My project consists of a class which extends TWLStateBasedGame and includes my main method, and initiates several other classes extending BasicTWLGameState. The first class it initiates and enters is my MainMenuState which is the class I’m currently trying to edit for the popup window.
