FileDialog save as FREEZE ?!?!

[Peter Primrose]

Guys,

I have a JDialog on the screen and the user can Save the info in it.

the thing is that the FileDialog recieves a JFrame and as a result,
when the user switch to a diff application (say IE) and retun to the application - he can't see the FileDialog, or in other workds, the application freeze.


FileDialog fd = new FileDialog(frame, "Save As",FileDialog.SAVE);


I tried
Component c = SwingUtilities.getRoot((Component)e.getSource());
JFrame subframe = (JFrame)c;

FileDialog fd = new FileDialog(subframe , "Save As",FileDialog.SAVE);

but it doesn't work.


anyidea - I need a JDialog but the FileDialog recieves only frames ?!!?!?

Hi Peter,

using JFileChooser instead. It works.
------------------------------
JFileChooser fileChooser = new JFileChooser();
fileChooser.setDialogTitle("Save As");
int i = fileChooser.showSaveDialog(frame);
