POJFileChooser embedded in a JPanel
text
Body
copied!<p>I am writing a java program that needs a file open dialog. The file open dialog isn't difficult, I'm hoping to use a <code>JFileChooser</code>. My problem is that I would like to have a dual pane <code>JFrame</code> (consisting of 2 <code>JPanels</code>). The left panel would have a <code>JList</code>, and the right panel would have a file open dialog. </p> <p>When I use <code>JFileChooser.showOpenDialog()</code> this opens the dialog box above all other windows, which isn't what I want. Is there any way to have the <code>JFileChooser</code> (or maybe another file selection dialog) display inside a <code>JPanel</code> and not pop-up above it?</p> <p>Here is the code that I've tried, at this point it's very simplified. I'm only trying to get the <code>JFileChooser</code> to be embedded in the <code>JPanel</code> at this point.</p> <pre><code>public class JFC extends JFrame{ public JFC() { setSize(800,600); JPanel panel= new JPanel(); JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser(); panel.add(chooser); setVisible(true); chooser.showOpenDialog(null); } public static void main(String[] args) { JFC blah = new JFC(); } } </code></pre> <p>I have also tried calling <code>chooser.showOpenDialog</code> with <code>this</code> and <code>panel</code>, but to no avail. Also, I have tried adding the <code>JFileChooser</code> directly to the frame. Both of the attempts listed above still have the <code>JFileChooser</code> pop up in front of the frame or panel (depending on which I add the <code>JFileChooser</code> to).</p>
