I see, so you mean the native file dialog, but in a Control rather than in a
stand-alone OS dialog? If so then no, this does not exist. I think it was
previously requested in bugzilla, but could not be implemented due to lack
of native support.
Implementing this functionality yourself is reasonably straight-forward
though, and there's an swt example you can look at that does this. It's
called FileViewer and it's in the swt examples download. For instructions
on getting the swt examples see http://www.eclipse.org/swt/examples.php .
If for some reason you have problems getting the examples then the two
classes that make up this example are directly accessible via the links
below, you'll just need to hack them to not depend on the additional
external strings and icons that are usually part of the example.
