        File fil=f.getFile();
        System.out.println("selected "+fil.getName());
}and my f_choos class with this methods;
public f_choos()
        initComponents();
        chooser.addChoosableFileFilter(new ImageFilter());
        chooser.setFileView(new ImageFileView());
        chooser.setAccessory(new ImagePreview(chooser));
        int result = chooser.showOpenDialog(null);
        if(result == chooser.APPROVE_OPTION)
            if(chooser.getSelectedFile()!=null)
                String name= chooser.getSelectedFile().getPath();
                getFile();           
    public File getFile()
        return chooser.getSelectedFile();
    }my problem is that, also when i press the "cancel " button, the file pointed by my fChooser is selected, but i want to be returned null
anyone could help me?

Perhaps you could do something like this
public class f_choos {
    private File file;
    public f_choos() {
        initComponents();
        chooser.addChoosableFileFilter(new ImageFilter());
        chooser.setFileView(new ImageFileView());       
        chooser.setAccessory(new ImagePreview(chooser));               
        if(chooser.showOpenDialog(null) == chooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {           
                file = chooser.getSelectedFile();
    public File getFile()    {      
        return file; 
}
