Der Kenneth,
I validate your suggestion which is actually what I had described as well.
But since then my thoughts evolved and it is possible to make a slight improvement to such a code by getting a handle to the String Field item (following the Choice item) through something like:
        Component[] dlgItems = gd.getComponents();
and then play with:
        dlgItems[i].setVisible( state );
        dlgItems[i].setEnabled( state );
(state being then equal to true or false), as it had been suggested to me by Herbie.
Take care,
Philippe

As I understand the question - and given that you prefer to not open a second dialog - I would create a dialog with a Choice field *and* a following String field.  If the user selects one of the pre-programmed Choices, you simply ignore the String.  

This isn't quite as nice looking as allowing the user to type into the Choice field, but it seems close enough.
