JFace wizard show data in last page

Question

I have a Wizard with 3 WizardPages, each page with widgets holding inputs from the user, I need to add a last page, holding all the informations entered by the user.

I didn't know how to do that, because the 4 pages are created at the same time.

Public Wizard(){
    addPage(new Page1()) ;
    addPage(new Page2()) ;
    addPage(new Page3()) ;
    addPage(new PageSummary()) ;

}

How can i change PageSummary Controls depending on what is entered in previous pages ?

Edit: I've found a post, that do exactly what i want, using the onEnterPage() method looks clever, here is how i have tried it:

public class NewEquipementSummaryPage extends WizardPage {
    public void createControl(Composite parent) {
    // composite to hold widgets 
    Composite composite = new Composite(parent, SWT.NONE) ;

    // composite layout 
    GridLayout gl = new GridLayout(2, false) ;
    composite.setLayout(gl) ;

    // making widgets 
    createWidgets(composite) ;
    setControl(composite) ;
}

    public void onEnterPage() {
    TypeEquipementPage typePage = (TypeEquipementPage) getWizard().getPage(TypeEquipementPage.PAGE_NAME) ;
    CompanySellerPage companyPage = (CompanySellerPage) getWizard().getPage(CompanySellerPage.PAGE_NAME) ;
    EquipementUserPage userPage = (EquipementUserPage) getWizard().getPage(EquipementUserPage.PAGE_NAME) ;

    if(typePage.types[0].getSelection() == true)
        typeEquipementLabel.setText("Poste de travail") ;
    else
        typeEquipementLabel.setText("Peripherique") ;

    marqueEquipementLabel.setText(typePage.marquesCombo.getText()) ;
    descriptionEquipementLabel.setText(typePage.descriptionField.getText()) ;

    if(companyPage.companyExistButton[0].getSelection() == true) {
        companyNameLabel.setText(companyPage.companiesCombo.getText()) ;
    }
    else{
        companyNameLabel.setText(companyPage.companyNameField.getText()) ;
        companyAdressLabel.setText(companyPage.companyAdressField.getText()) ;
        companyNumberLabel.setText(companyPage.companyNumberField.getText()) ;
    }

    if( !(userPage.sharedEquipementButton.getSelection()) )
        useOfEquipementLabel.setText("Utilisateur") ;
    else
        useOfEquipementLabel.setText("Bureau") ;

    pack() ;
}

With the pack() method in the end, i have an error in compilation (cannot find symbol)

and without it nothing appear in the page .. what did I miss ?

The `onEnterPage` method as used in that link is just a custom method to handle entering the page in the 'Creating JFace Wizards' tutorial. It's called from their Wizard when it calls their overridden `Wizard#getNextPage`. Nothing will call it automatically — mecsco, Aug 20 '12 at 16:34

Try overriding DialogPage#setVisible in NewEquipementSummaryPage and call onEnterPage from there:

public void setVisible(boolean visible) {

    super.setVisible(visible);

    if (visible) {

        onEnterPage();
    }
}

(as well as changing to composite.pack() as suggested in SoboLAN's answer)

I think you want composite.pack (), not just pack (). To do this, store the composite variable as a private field in your class (so that you can have acess to it in the onEnterPage method).

it's composite.pack() .. and it didn't work is there another way to do what I'm plaining ? the last page in the wizard serve as a summary to what do user has entered in all previous pages, so he can read and change by pressing previous and update values or validate by pressing finish. i made empty labels where informations will be displayed using the setText() method in the onEnterPage() .. – elaich Aug 17 '12 at 13:55
I used a log to see if there is a call for the onEnterPage() method, but only the createControl() method is called during the process .. When i verified the javadoc there is no onEnterPage() method in the IWizardPage interface not even an inerhited one .. Where is this method ? – elaich Aug 18 '12 at 01:30
@elaich I found that method here: http://www.eclipse.org/epf/composer_javadoc/1.0/org/eclipse/epf/library/ui/wizards/BaseWizardPage.html . However I don't know what its purpose is... – Radu Murzea Aug 18 '12 at 07:02
