How to show only remote files in RSE's remote file selection dialog? [message #684007]

I'm using the following code to fire up a Remote File Selection Dizard in RSE, and receive the full path of the selected file:

SystemRemoteFileDialog dialog = new SystemRemoteFileDialog(SystemBasePlugin.getActiveWorkbenchShell());
dialog.open();
Object o = dialog.getSelectedObject();
if (o instanceof IRemoteFile) {
    IRemoteFile file = (IRemoteFile)  
    System.out.println("Selected file's abs path: " + file.getAbsolutePath());
} else {
    System.out.println("No valid file selected!");
}

But, the file selection dialog shows both the local files and the remote ones, as well as a drop-down menu at the top, to select connection; local, or one of the remote hosts. (See image at i.stack.imgur.com/jHQkC.png ).

How can I programmatically hide this drop-down menu, and show only the files for a specific remote connection?

Also, I'd like to have the file tree show only files under a specific directory (e.g. the user's home dir). How can I do that? In the main RSE view, it is possible to do this manually by right-clicking a folder, and selecting "Go Into", but I want to do it programmatically.

Best Regards
// Samuel

I sent this on the mailing list too:

You can restrict the connection types available by calling the
setSystemTypes(IRSESystemType[]) API.

If you want to use a specific connection, then you can call this:
setDefaultSystemConnection(<host>, true)

As for showing only files under a specific directory, you'll probably have
to provide your own class that extends SystemRemoteResourceDialog and with
that provide your own input provider (i.e.
ISystemResourceSelectionInputProvider) returns the appropriate system view
roots.

Indeed, thanks a lot!
(Strange how I missed that, while scanning the methods ...).

Just for the reference, the complete "snippet" of how I do (except for some additional exception handling):

IHost myHost = null;
ISystemRegistry reg = SystemStartHere.getSystemRegistry();
IHost[] hosts = reg.getHosts();
for (IHost host : hosts) {
    if (host.getAliasName().equals("[host-name-of-my-connection]")) {
        myHost = host;
        break;
    }
}

SystemRemoteFileDialog dialog = new SystemRemoteFileDialog(SystemBasePlugin.getActiveWorkbenchShell());
dialog.setDefaultSystemConnection(myHost, true);

dialog.open();
Object o = dialog.getSelectedObject();
if (o instanceof IRemoteFile) {
    IRemoteFile file = (IRemoteFile) o; 
    System.out.println("Selected file's abs path: " + file.getAbsolutePath());
} else {
    System.out.println("No valid file selected!");
}
