filedialog

I need to know which of the 3 is best for me. My requirements are as follows in order of importance: Save and load files with ease. File type filter during file selection (not afterwards). Look and feel is exactly the same as the native OS L&F. If there is a dialog that I've not mentioned that would be more ideal, please let me know. What is the rest of your application written in? If you used AWT you should use FileDialog . If you used Swing you should use JFileChooser . Both classes meet all of your requirements. (A JDialog is simply an empty window, you can only use it to open files if you

EDIT: This seems to be a problem restricted to Tcl/Tk on Mac OS systems. So if you have no experience with that, this topic might be moot... I want to have a Python script that does two things: Ask the user for a file name via a Tkinter file dialog. Plot some data from said file. The problem is, matplotlib uses Tkinter for the graphical representations, and whenever I call pyplot.show() in non-interactive mode, the (before closed) file dialog pops up again. It seems to me like pyplot.show() gathers a list of all Tkinter windows and shows them all. I did not find any help on this however. I

I have a problem with the JFileChooser under Ubuntu 12.04. I use this code to set the look and feel: javax.swing.UIManager.setLookAndFeel(javax.swing.UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName()); And it looks like this. It's very uncomfortable to use and it looks very ugly: http://www9.picfront.org/token/9sRH/2012/05/15/2062476.jpg I would like it to look like this: http://www4.picfront.org/token/1lpa/2012/05/15/2062477.jpg Using the hint from this post , I tried to use FileDialog instead of the FileChooser . But FileDialog throws an exception when i start it in LOAD mode and click on the "open"

This question already has an answer here: Obtaining only the filename when using OpenFileDialog property “FileName” 2 answers I have a save file dialog and i want to get only the filename entered. Equivalent for openfiledialog.SafeFileName; Save file dialog has no SafeFileName Property and FileName returns both filename, path and extension. Pls how do i extract only file name. If you want the filename with extension use Path.GetFileName() . If you want it without the extension as well use Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension() . public void Test(string fileName) { string path = Path

I want to make a QT4 (using QT designer) dialog, that contains a part where a file has to be selected. Now, I know QFileDialog exists, and I can program something that does what I want. But can I also just do it in QT designer? Is there some way to get a "file select" widget in QT designer? Or, I remember these buttons, having the selected file as a title and a little arrow allowing the user to select another file by the QFileDialog? So is there a ready made solution, or do I have to program it myself? There is no file dialog available from the Qt designer as far as I know. But you can easily

Under System.Windows.Controls , I can see a PrintDialog However, I can't seem to find a native FileDialog . Do I need to create a reference to System.Windows.Forms or is there another way? WPF does have built-in (although not native ) file dialogs. Specifically, they are in the slightly unexpected Microsoft.Win32 namespace (although still part of WPF). See the OpenFileDialog and SaveFileDialog classes in particular. Do however note that these classes are only wrappers around the Win32 functionality, as the parent namespace suggests. It does however mean that you don't need to do any WinForms
