Re: [platform-swt-dev] filedialog or directorydialog - open either a file or a directory
|
FYI, a request for this feature has already been made... and the bug was
closed as wontfix.
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=88676
FYA, I implemented a FileAndDirectoryDialog long ago (in another life, and
in another language <grin>), and I'll tell you, the GUI was bizzarre.
For example, if the user selects a directory in the list and then types
"Enter", does the dialog navigate into the directory, or return it?
Do you allow multiple return values of different types, i.e. a whole list
of files and/or directories?
What happens when the user types directory/.. and then clicks OK? Or types
Enter?
Can OK and Enter behave differently, or always the same?
The dialog sometimes behaved in a way that users did not expect, often
depending on whether the list or the text field had focus.
So perhaps that is partly why platforms seem reluctant to implement such a
beast... <grin>

No, this is not currently supported. If you like you can log a Feature
Request with SWT for this at
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=Platform&bug_severity=enhancement
, but I don't know if a native implementation of this is available on all
of the platforms (if not then this is not likely to be implemented).

[platform-swt-dev] filedialog or directorydialog - open either a file or a
directory
hi,
I would like to know if it's possible to select either a directory or a
file from the same file/directorydialog (or why not, both at same time)
thanks in advance
