JFileChooser filename autocompletion

[skorpionking]

Hello together,

I'm searching for a posibility to complete the filename in a JFileChooser automatically.

Example:
The FileChooser opens a directory with different files, like:

Test1.txt
test.csv
test345.txt
...

If I type e.g. "T" || "t", then the text of the filename-field should be completet to "Test1.txt" || "Test345.txt".

If someone know a way to activate this function in the JFileChooser, please write an answer to this thread.

Thanks !!!!

Problem is resolved by using a FileDialog instead of a JFileChooser.

if one has add auto functionality then he/she has to access the text field but that is not possible in normal ways..

A kind of hack was is there which searches for all the components and then finds the instance of textfield and returns it.

here is the code.. :)

private  JTextField dis(JFileChooser jf) {
        boolean hide =false;
        LinkedList<Component> queue = new LinkedList<Component>();
        queue.add(jf);
        JTextField jtf=new JTextField();
        while(queue.size() != 0) {
            Component[] c = ((Container) queue.removeFirst()).getComponents();   
            for(int i = 0; i < c.length; i++) {                        
                queue.add(c[i]);    
                            
                if(c[i] instanceof JTextField) {
                    jtf = (JTextField) c[i];
                    jtf.setVisible(true);
                    jtf.setEnabled(true);
                    jtf.setText(" hello ");
                    return jtf;
                }
                    
                    
        }           
    }
    
    
    return jtf;
  }
