Hello,

Can anyone help me please with the following issue..I have a Part in which I have a label with an image and with a mouse listener. When a user clicks on it, a Directory Dialog should be triggered...but I cannot get correctly the Shell as parameter for Directory Dialog. The code is:

public class ReportExporerPart {

@Inject
public ReportExporerPart() {

}

@PostConstruct
public void postConstruct(Composite parent) {
FillLayout fl_parent = new FillLayout(SWT.HORIZONTAL);
parent.setLayout(fl_parent);

Label lblNewLabel = new Label(parent, SWT.CENTER);
lblNewLabel.setImage(SWTResourceManager.getImage(ReportExporerPart.class, "/javax/swing/plaf/metal/icons/ocean/directory.gif"));
lblNewLabel.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
@Override
public void mouseUp(MouseEvent e) {
DirectoryDialog dlg = new DirectoryDialog(parent.getShell());
dlg.setText("Report Chooser");
dlg.setMessage("Select a directory");
}
});
}

@PreDestroy
public void preDestroy() {

}

@Focus
public void onFocus() {

}
}

Nothing happens if i use "parent.getShell()" and I do not understand why..Any clue?
