Class gui.ExtensionFileFilter
gui.ExtensionFileFilter
- public class ExtensionFileFilter
- extends javax.swing.filechooser.FileFilter
Sun's FileFilter example, renamed
A convenience implementation of FileFilter that filters out
all files except for those type extensions that it knows about.
Extensions are of the type ".foo", which is typically found on
Windows and Unix boxes, but not on Macintosh. Case is ignored.
Example - create a new filter that filters out all files
but gif and jpg image files:
JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
ExtensionFileFilter filter = new ExtensionFileFilter(
new String{"gif", "jpg"}, "JPEG & GIF Images")
chooser.addChoosableFileFilter(filter);
chooser.showOpenDialog(this);
