AWT FileDialog to select directories Posted: Nov 9, 2004 2:37 AM

Hello.
<br><br>
I need some help. I want to create an Java AWT FileDialog to select directories. This seems to be not so easy. I have to overwrite some methods, thats what I found in other threads. But nowhere was a description, what changes had to be made.
<br><br>
I would be very, very happy, if someone could help me with some code to handle this. I realy need to solve the problem.
<br><br>
greetings Black<br>

PS: I don't want to use the JFileChooser and I don't want to let the user select a File and user the getDirectory() method. I wanna have a Dialog, where the user can select a folder.

        FileDialog dialog = new FileDialog(new Frame(), "Select Directory", FileDialog.LOAD);
        dialog.show();
        String directory = dialog.getDirectory(); 
        System.out.println(directory);
