JWindowsFileDialog

[!IMPORTANT] I have not updated this in a long time, though it should be pretty bullet proof on the supported systems. I would recommend FlatLaf's System File Chooser as this is going to be better supported and works well with one of the most common LAFs.

<h1 style="margin: 0;">JWindowsFileDialog</h1> <p>Windows native file dialog library for Java AWT and Swing. Allowing the use of the native file dialog on Windows, and using JFileChooser on non-compatible operating systems.</p> <p>❗<strong>While most issues have been sorted out, ARM architecture is not supported and the fallback methods have not been tested.</strong>❗</p> <h3 style="margin: 0;">Usage</h3>

// Create a File Extension you wish to filter for, for example jpg, pngs, and an all filter for other image formats
FileExtension jpg = new FileExtension("JPG Images", "jpg", "jpeg");
FileExtension png = new FileExtension("PNG Images", "png", "png");

// pass either a Frame or JFrame in the first argument to have the dialog act as a modal, null can be passed
String selection = JWindowsFileDialog.showOpenDialog(null, "Select an Image", jpg, png, FileExtension.ALL);

if(selection == null) {
	System.out.println("The user did not select an image");
} else {
	System.out.println("The selected image is: " + selection);
}

Documentation is provided for all methods, and a working demo is available under jwfd-demo.
