| + | The Scout documentation has been moved to https://eclipsescout.github.io/. |
| − | | + | |
| − | This how-to describes how to add use the native (AWT) FileChooser with Swing clients.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | = Steps =
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | In order to use the native (Windows) file chooser, you need to tell scout to use the AWT file chooser. This is done by overwriting the '''createFileChooser()''' method in '''SwingEnvironment''':
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <source lang="java">@Override
| + | |
| − | public ISwingScoutFileChooser createFileChooser(Window w, IFileChooser fc) {
| + | |
| − | ISwingScoutFileChooser ui = new SwingScoutFileChooser(this, fc, w, true);
| + | |
| − | decorate(fc, ui);
| + | |
| − | return ui;
| + | |
| − | }
| + | |
| − | </source>
| + | |
| − | Unfortunately the SwingScoutFileChooser is broken with regard to the title bar of the file chooser dialog when using the AWT variant: It uses the file extension filter pattern as title string.<br>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | In order to fix this, create a new class '''SwingScoutFileChooserFix''' which is a 1:1 copy of the original class (derriving from it unfortunately does not work as the methods that need to be fixed are declared private) and rename the class name accordingly.<br>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | In that new class, change the '''showFileChooserAWT()''' method as follows: <br>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Replace the following code:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <source lang="java">
| + | |
| − | SecurityManager sm = System.getSecurityManager();
| + | |
| − | try {
| + | |
| − | System.setSecurityManager(null);
| + | |
| − | //
| + | |
| − | StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer();
| + | |
| − | if (extensions != null) {
| + | |
| − | for (int i = 0; i < extensions.length; i++) {
| + | |
| − | if (i > 0) {
| + | |
| − | buf.append(", ");
| + | |
| − | }
| + | |
| − | buf.append("*." + extensions[i]);
| + | |
| − | }
| + | |
| − | }
| + | |
| − | if (buf.length() == 0) {
| + | |
| − | buf.append("*.*");
| + | |
| − | }
| + | |
| − | dlg = createFileChooserAWT(m_owner, buf.toString(), openMode);
| + | |
| − | System.setSecurityManager(sm);
| + | |
| − | }
| + | |
| − | catch (Exception e) {
| + | |
| − | </source>
| + | |
| − | with the following code:
| + | |
| − | <source lang="java"> SecurityManager sm = System.getSecurityManager();
| + | |
| − | try {
| + | |
| − | System.setSecurityManager(null);
| + | |
| − | if (m_owner instanceof Dialog) {
| + | |
| − | dlg = new FileDialog((Dialog) m_owner, TEXTS.get(openMode ? "Load": "Save"), openMode ? FileDialog.LOAD : FileDialog.SAVE);
| + | |
| − | }
| + | |
| − | else if (m_owner instanceof Frame) {
| + | |
| − | dlg = new FileDialog((Frame) m_owner, TEXTS.get(openMode ? "Load" : "Save"), openMod ? FileDialog.LOAD : FileDialog.SAVE);
| + | |
| − | }
| + | |
| − | else {
| + | |
| − | dlg = new FileDialog(new Frame(), TEXTS.get(openMode ? "Load" : "Save"), openMode ? FileDialog.LOAD : FileDialog.SAVE);
| + | |
| − | }
| + | |
| − | System.setSecurityManager(sm);
| + | |
| − | }
| + | |
| − | catch (Exception e) {
| + | |
| − | </source>
| + | |
| − | Accordingly, you want to create a new instance of the '''SwingScoutFileChooserFix''' class in '''SwingEnvironment.createFileChooser()''':<br>
| + | |
| − | <source lang="java"> @Override
| + | |
| − | public ISwingScoutFileChooser createFileChooser(Window w, IFileChooser fc) {
| + | |
| − | ISwingScoutFileChooser ui = new SwingScoutFileChooserFix(this, fc, w, true);
| + | |
| − | decorate(fc, ui);
| + | |
| − | return ui;
| + | |
| − | }
| + | |
| − | </source>
| + | |
