Overview | Methods | This Package | All Packages

FileDialog.setAddExtension

Sets a boolean value indicating whether the dialog box automatically adds an extension to a file name when the user omits the extension.

Syntax

public final void setAddExtension( boolean value )

Parameters

value

Set to true if you want the dialog box to add an extension to a file name when the user omits the extension; otherwise, set to false. The default value is true.

Remarks

The extension added to a file name depends on the currently selected file filter and the value of the checkFileExists property. If the checkFileExists property is true, the dialog box adds the first extension from the current file filter that matches an existing file; if no files match the current file filter, the dialog box adds the extension specified in the defaultExt property. If the checkFileExists property is false, the dialog box adds the first valid file extension from the current file filter; if the current file filter contains no valid file extensions, the dialog box adds the extension specified in the defaultExt property.
