Hi Michael
thanks but I am not clear yet, perhaps I have to clarify my
problem:
line #1: DirectoryChooser dc = new
DirectoryChooser("Preferred Directory:");
line #2: dc.setDefaultDirectory(t2.getText());
The instance of DirectoryChooser is created first - so it will
already be loaded with the path/directory that was selected last, but I want
the "instance of DirectoryChooser" to come up with whatever is currently in
t2.getText() (BTW: t2 is a TextArea where a path is pasted).
In summary, the question could be, how can the line#2 be executed before
executing line # 1? Is it possible?
Obviously, instance of DirectoryChooser, when created and loaded, reads the
last selected directory from somewhere (I don't know where is that place and
how to access that?- so need to that) - can we write our preferred
directory/path in that place first?
Any help/suggestion?
Thanks
Tamjid
