I have run in to two very frustrating problems using object FileDialog in
JDK beta2 on Win95 :
public class MyWin extends Frame {
...
public boolean handleEvent(Event evt) {
...
// File|Open menu item is selected
FileDialog fd = new FileDialog(this, "Open File");
fd.open();
String filename = fd.getFile();
if (filename != null)
System.out.println(fd.getFile());
...
}
}
1) In an application or applet the parent window (MyWin in the above
example) of the FileDialog does not get refreshed when the FileDialog is
moved or closed. An image of the FileDialog remains on the canvas, and
as an added bonus, the controls on the canvas stop functioning. This
error can also be seen by viewing:
http://java.sun.com/tutorial/ui/overview/components.html
and clicking the big button.
2) The FileDialog does not return the file the user selected.
fd.getFile() returns <null> when called after the window closes (see code
snippet sabove).
