How can I start an open dialog with Filter ?

[sergeiY]

I would like to filter all but let's say ".obj" files from view when my dialog is open and ... I would like to open it in my local folder.

Thank you

Here is how you do it:

      // This sets the default directory
      File f = new File( "c:\" );
      JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser(f);

      // This sets the file filter
      myFileFilter filter = new myFileFilter(true); 
      chooser.setFileFilter(filter); 

      if ( chooser.showOpenDialog( parent ) == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) 
      {
         f = chooser.getSelectedFile(); 
      }

myFileFilter is a class that you create that extends FileFilter. It does the work of eliminating files that don't match what you want.
