DNA Waiting Dialog (Swing Demo)

Sunday, April 23rd, 2006 at 10:30 am, Swing.

This simple demo shows an animated loading screen. You can use the various setters to change the visual style. The animation is performed through Chet's TimingFramework. As you can see in the following snippet, it's really easy:

public void startWaitSequence() {
  if (waitController == null || !waitController.isRunning()) {
    cycle = new Cycle(4000, 12);
    Envelope envelope = new Envelope(TimingController.INFINITE,
        0, Envelope.RepeatBehavior.FORWARD,
        Envelope.EndBehavior.HOLD);
    PropertyRange range = PropertyRange.createPropertyRangeDouble("offset", 0.0, 1.0);
    waitController = new TimingController(cycle, envelope,
        new ObjectModifier(dnaPanel, range));
    waitController.start();
  }
}

Anyway, the 3D effect could be improved a lot more :)
