I'm writing an Eclipseplugin, which has to create a new project. This works so far, but i need to copy an external file into the projectfolder. I intend to have a 'Browse' button on one of my WizardPages, which opens a filedialog, where the user can browse to the file and after closing the dialog i can use the path to this file for various actions. My problem is that the dialog window never opens. Right now i'm trying it that way (snippet from my wizardpage):
public void createControl(Composite composite) {
this.container = new Composite(composite, SWT.NONE);
GridLayout layout = new GridLayout();
this.container.setLayout(layout);
layout.numColumns = 2;
Button browseButton = new Button(this.container, SWT.PUSH);
browseButton.setText("Browse");
browseButton.addSelectionListener(new SelectionListener() {
@Override
public void widgetDefaultSelected(SelectionEvent arg0) {
FileDialog fileDialog = new FileDialog(DataPage.this.container.getShell(), SWT.OPEN);
fileDialog.setText("JZOS created File");
String path = fileDialog.open();
DataPage.this.setJzosCreatedName(path);
}
});
I tried several implementations, that i have seen in examples and tutorials but nothing did work. I'm assuming a problem with the Shell that i give to the filedialog. I tried to open a new Shell within the widgetDefaultSelected function but it didn't work either. Any Suggestions?
