[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: Retrieve String from Open File Dialogue

[Ali Naddaf <ali@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Define a field at the class level:

pubilc class Foo {
	....
	String test;
	....
	private void someMethod() {
		Button button = new Button(...);
		button.addSelectionListener(new SelectionAdapter() {
			public void widgetSelected(SelectionEvent e) {
				....
				test = fd.open();
				....
			}
		});
	}
	System.out.println("Here is my string: " + test);
	....
}
