Java Forum / GUI / November 2003not modal File Choosers ?
Hi How can I create not modal File Choosers dialog? Best Regards  SignatureGreg > How can I create not modal File Choosers dialog? Use a normal JDialog. Add a JFileChooser to it like you would add any other component to a JDialog (JFileChooser is a component). Subscribe to ActionEvents from the JFileChooser component (addActionListener()). Use the various set...() methods to set button text, mnemonics, title, dialog type, etc. (See the API documentation). Then call JFileChooser.rescanCurrentDirectory() on the JFileChooser, followed by JDialog.setVisible(true) on the JDialog. /Thomas > How can I create not modal File Choosers dialog? Call the createDialog method of the JFileChooser to first build the dialog, set its properties (whether OpenDialog, SaveDialog etc) and call setModal(false) on it before invoking its show() method.

He would have to subclass. createDialog() also requires Java 1.4 or newer. /Thomas >>>How can I create not modal File Choosers dialog? >> [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > createDialog() is protected (don't ask me why).

Since the createDialog function had been present on earlier versions of JDKs for the JOptionPane class (and was public), I assumed it would be the same case with the JFileChooser as well and didn't bother to read the fine print :-) Sorry about the error. BK > Ah.. Thanks for pointing it out, I hadn't noticed this. I just remembered it, because I got caught by it some time ago, too. I really don't understand why this isn't a public method. Maybe it would be a good idea for the Swing team to create some common interface for all the convenience dialogs, so they all can be handled the same way. Anyway, maybe someone want's to jump through Sun's hoops and file a bug report / feature request on this one :-) /Thomas Free MagazinesGet these publications absolutely FREE for up to 12 months.
