SelectableFilechooser : Choose to use the native (AWT-based) or Swing open file widget according to a config variable that can be set according to platform. When native is choosen, a java.awt.FileDialog is used, otherwise, javax.swing.FileChooser.
The API of this plugin is roughly aligned with Swing's JFileChooser : not all of JFileChooser API is implemented but the way to use a SelectableFilechooser is similar to JFileChooser (and thus not similar to a java.awt.FileDialog).
Usage
import ca.marcpa.SelectableFileChooser
// to override default configuration app.config.selectableFileChooser.useNative.file = true app.config.selectableFileChooser.useNative.directory = false
...
// In a view script, with a panel child of application into variable mainPanel: myFileChooser = new SelectableFileChooser(app, mainPanel) myDirChooser = new SelectableFileChooser(app, mainPanel, true)
...
// in a controller def openFile = { evt = null -> view.myFileChooser.chooseFileToOpen()
if (view.myFileChooser.selectedFile != null) { String fileText = view.myFileChooser.selectedFile.text
...
} }
def openDir = { evt = null -> view.myDirChooser.chooseFileToOpen(model.dirToOpen) if (view.dirChooserWindow.selectedFile != null) { String dirPath = view.dirChooserWindow.selectedFile.canonicalPath } ... }
Configuration
Default configuration of pluging:
switch (griffon.util.GriffonApplicationUtils.platform) { case 'linux' : case 'solaris' : selectableFileChooser { useNative { file = false directory = false } } break; case 'macosx' : selectableFileChooser { useNative { file = true directory = true } } break; case 'windows' : selectableFileChooser { useNative { file = true directory = false } } break; default: break; }
