Re: [platform-ui-dev] File selection dialog that allows a directory?

Joe,

I know of no way of doing this.  Please ask the SWT team on the SWT 
mailing list.
If they don't currently support this, I would recommend just going with 
the two actions rather than trying to roll your own dialog.

I'm looking for a standard dialog I can use to let the user select either 
a file or a directory.  The SWT dialogs (at least on WinXP) appear to 
allow one or the other but not both.  In other words, the FileDialog 
allows *only* a file selection and the DirectoryDialog allows *only* a 
directory selection.  The problem with this is that it forces me to create 
two buttons, one for "Add file" and one for "Add directory" where one 
would really do the job.  It also forces the user to decide whether 
they're adding a file or directory before they've had a chance to look at 
their file system.  Is there any way around this? 

Thanks, 
Joe
