open dialog box for file chooice

[Anonymous]

hi,
I've to let the choice to user for a file !
So I've tried a simple JFrame with JfileChooser object in a routine call by tjavaflex ...
But I haven't got the time to choice anything
The frame still open a very short time to disappear ...
problem of thread !??
I'm not enought java coder to find the reason why !!
here the code :

public class FileChooser extends JFrame implements ActionListener{
	private JButton bouton = null;
	private JPanel panel = null;
	private String thePath = null;
	
	public FileChooser(){
		panel = new JPanel();
		bouton = new JButton();
		
		panel.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
		bouton.addActionListener(this);
		this.setVisible(true);
		this.setSize(new Dimension(400,200));
		this.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
		
	}

	public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
		Object source = e.getSource();
		JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
		File theFile = null;
		
		if(source == bouton){
			int returnVal = chooser.showOpenDialog(this);
			if(returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION){
				theFile = chooser.getSelectedFile();
			}
		}
		
		thePath =  theFile.toURI().toString();
	}
	
	public String getPath(){
		return thePath;
	}
}

Hope it's not too long !
Why frame close just as it open !??

Use component tJavaFlex.
Under Advanced settings enter: import javax.swing.JFileChooser;
Under Basic settings you can add code like:
JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
chooser.showOpenDialog(null);
