Hi all,

I am currently writing a media player for blind users. I decided to use
SWT, but i have encountered a problem when using directoryDialog and
fileDialog. As my application uses the keyboard and not the mouse, I need
the focus to be set on the files or directories in the dialog box. When i
use directoryDialog the focus is set to the ok box on the dialog box once
it opens. Having looked through the API i havnt found any way of doing
this, if anyone knows how i can, i would really appreciate any advice!!

cheers
ro

Impossible. SWT is based on native components, and you cannot have
access from Java level to Windows level.

I admit you checking Swing (it is slower, but more probable that has
support for that), or writing the browser yourself.
