JFileChooser equivalent for Directories

Hi, I wanted to know if there was an equivalent for the JFileChooser in java that allows the selection of Directories only. I have not been able to find anything of that type on the internet anywhere!

I think you can do that with JFileChooser. All you have to do is to enable DIRECTORIES_ONLY. Here is an example of how to use JFileChooser:

Search for "DIRECTORIES_ONLY" and uncomment the line.

Hi, Thanks for the response. It worked...
Am sorry for replying this late but I had too much to do to be able to reply before.

No need to be sorry mate. I know the feeling of being busy and not having time to test or reply at LQ.org. I have a lot of threads that I asked for help still in my TODO list ^_^;;

Either way, I'm glad it worked.

Regards!
