FileDialog

Use a FileDialog bean to provide a dialog for accessing the file system. The user can open or save files using this dialog. File dialogs are useful in stand-alone applications. File dialogs are typically not used in applets due to security constraints.

The FileDialog bean represents a system file dialog. The bean appears on the free-form surface as an icon because it cannot be composed.
