Re: [platform-ui-dev] File selection dialog that allows a directory?
|
I recommand against rolling your own file/directory selection dialogs
since SWT uses (or should) the platform's.
If you roll your own, the app looks inconsistent on other platforms, and
looks stale on the same platform a year or two later.

Actually, what Nick meant to say was to ask in the newsgroup, since the
SWT mailing list is for people who are *implementing* SWT.
In any case, the answer to your question is no, there is no single dialog
to do what you want. If this is important for your app, and you do write
one, you should consider contributing it.

Joe,
I know of no way of doing this. Please ask the SWT team on the SWT
mailing list.
If they don't currently support this, I would recommend just going with
the two actions rather than trying to roll your own dialog.

Subject: [platform-ui-dev] File selection dialog that allows
a directory?
I'm looking for a standard dialog I can use to let the user select either
a file or a directory. The SWT dialogs (at least on WinXP) appear to
allow one or the other but not both. In other words, the FileDialog
allows *only* a file selection and the DirectoryDialog allows *only* a
directory selection. The problem with this is that it forces me to create
two buttons, one for "Add file" and one for "Add directory" where one
would really do the job. It also forces the user to decide whether
they're adding a file or directory before they've had a chance to look at
their file system. Is there any way around this?
Thanks,
Joe
