I'm using Eclipse with SWT Designer (nifty tool).

What I'm trying to do is find a pull down menu on the pallate and there doesn't seem to be one. Bascially I'm trying to emulate the standard file selection behavior in WinXP. As an example: when you go into MSPaint, select Open from the File menu, and you get that pop-up. That's 80% of what I want to do. This can't be the first time such a thing has been coded, but I seem to be googling on the wrong terms.

Any suggestions?

How about "JFileChooser"?

Good luck.

Is there an SWT version of that?

Check out SwingWT(Swing and awt). It has something similar to it.
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
