please does someone have at least the basic code so that wen i press save for example u can select the name and directory??? HELP PLS

[Khalid Ali]

ok...I guess I can bite the nail here then...below is a function that will do what u want exactly. When this method is called it will show the file chooser dialigue and will return a handle to the file that a user may selects..


/**
* creates a file selection dialogue. And then returns the selected file for users work.
*
* @return File
*/
public static File getFile() {
File file;
file = null;

JFileChooser fileChooserDialogue = new JFileChooser();
fileChooserDialogue.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.FILES_ONLY);
int result = fileChooserDialogue.showOpenDialog(parent);
if (result == 0) {
file = fileChooserDialogue.getSelectedFile();
if (file == null) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Invalid file name", "Invalid file name", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
}
}
return file;
}


if you are not using static methods then remove the static keyword from the method name decalration....
