Hi fbnmir or who ever can answer my question,
My problem is similar to the code you wrote. I'm trying to make (or rather complete a half done) editor for text files. For opening and saving files I have so far:
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae){
FileDialog filedialog;
final SearchDialog searchDialog;
String arg = (String)ae.getActionCommand();
// the Open ... case
if(arg.equals(Editor.fileLabels[0])){ 
if(Editor.VERBOSE)
System.err.println(Editor.fileLabels[0] +
                    " has been selected");
filedialog = new FileDialog(editor, "Open File Dialog", FileDialog.LOAD);
filedialog.show();
if(Editor.VERBOSE){  
System.err.println("Exited filedialog.setVisible(true);");
System.err.println("Open file = " + filedialog.getFile());
System.err.println("Open directory = " + filedialog.getDirectory());
//the Save ... case
if(arg.equals(Editor.fileLabels[1])){ 
if(Editor.VERBOSE)
System.err.println(Editor.fileLabels[1] + " has been selected");
filedialog = new FileDialog(editor, "Save File Dialog", FileDialog.SAVE);
filedialog.show();
if(Editor.VERBOSE){ 
System.err.println("Exited filedialog.setVisible(true);");
System.err.println("Save file = " + filedialog.getFile());
System.err.println("Save directory = " + filedialog.getDirectory());
These are two components of a MenuHandler class. The problem with this code is that in the text editor window, even if the Open button is pressed the file I want to open isn't displayed. Although the System.err (I think that's what it is called) says:
Open ... has been selected
Exited filedialog.setVisible(true);
Open file = tutorial_01.rtf
Open directory = C:\dhruba\epgy_2006\tutorial\
Save ... has been selected
Exited filedialog.setVisible(true);
Save file = test.txt
Save directory = C:\dhruba\epgy_2006\tutorial\
How can I actually display the file I want to open, or save some text I've written?
I would appreciate any help, thanks.
