Java: Apply File Filter in AWT FileDialog

Current post is on how to apply File Filter in Abstract Window Toolkit (AWT) FileDialog component on Windows

Started working on AWT in Java and got stuck in FileFilter FileDialog component?

Unable to get the desired filter in FileDialog on Windows?

Just set the required file filter in setFile function of FileDialog

fileDialogObject.setFile(".java");

Because:

In setFileFilter Java documentation it states:

Filename filters do not function in Sun's reference implementation for Microsoft Windows.

 

FileDialog setFile in Java:

FileDialog fileDialogObject = new FileDialog(parentFrame,"Java Files Selection",FileDialog.LOAD);

fileDialogObject.setFile("*.java");

//It will show all the .java extension files in FileDialog Box

For more details refer to Java documentation on FileDialog

Hope this post saved your time.

Appreciate your feedback via comments.

Thanks.
