I'm making a FileDialog call to save a file.

FileDialog fd = new FileDialog((Frame) parent, "Save File...", FileDialog.SAVE);

The Dialog is not coming up on Win32, it comes up on Solaris. The problem is appearing in my Java 2D TestProduct which has a number of swing components. The problem did not reproduce for me on a JDK 1.1 applet. Pretty strange, I thought. The regression applet is :

/java/sqe_TestExec/JCK-112a/tests/api/java_awt_manual/ComponentTest.html

The location of the Java 2D TestProduct is :

/home/lichtenw/JavaMedia/2d/TestProduct

Copy this to Windows, run the runnit.bat script. Check the script out so that it's pointing to a jdk and swing.

Once the TestProduct is up, press the run button, press the stop button, press the "Save to File" button. Expecting the save dialog to appear.

Brian sent a smaller, standalone program that reproduces this - run it and press the big button:

import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.util.Date;
import java.awt.swing.*;



public class TestResults extends Applet implements ActionListener {


    public TestResults() {
setLayout(new BorderLayout());
Button b = new Button("Save to File");
b.addActionListener(this);
add(b);
    }


    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {

        Container parent = getParent(); // get the parent of your applet
while( parent != null && !( parent instanceof Frame) ) {
    parent = parent.getParent();
    }
System.out.println(parent);

        FileDialog fd = new FileDialog((Frame) parent, "Save File...", FileDialog.SAVE);
System.out.println(fd);
Date d = new Date();
fd.setFile(d.toString());
        fd.show();
        if (fd.getFile() != null) {
System.out.println("Saving: " + fd.getDirectory() + fd.getFile());
        }
    }

    public static void main(String s[]) {
Frame f = new Frame("Test");
f.add("Center", new TestResults());
f.pack();
f.setSize(new Dimension(400,400));
f.show();
    }
} // end TestResults
