JFileChooser and network drives

[msloan]

Is it possible to have a JFileChooser that is able to display network machines and drives? If so, how?

TIA

Hello,

This should work :

public void chooseFile() {
JFileChooser() chooser = new JFileChooser();
chooser.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.FILES_AND_DIRECTORIES);
chooser.showOpenDialog(f); //f is a JFrame
System.out.println.setText("" +(Object)chooser.getSelectedFile());
}

Hope it works,

Ben

Thanks for the suggestion, but it doesn't do quite what I need it to - still showing only the local drives. I think during setup, I will have to instruct the user to map a network drive so it is shown in the JFileChooser.

Yeah, as far as I know, java will only see mapped drives using the code suggested - as it can't see drives which arn't connected ...
