I have a small question. I am using a JFileChooser in one of my projects and I want to make it so that I cannot edit the file name. Is there any way to do this?

Jump to PostMaybe set a FileFilter that only accepts the file name you want. (ps Why do yiou want to use a filechooser and not allow the user to specify the file name???)
Jump to PostI cannot find such option in API. If I'm correct you will achieve this only with your custom build JFileChooser. Is it worth to do it?

oh i think you misinterpreted my question. you know how if you click on a file, and then click it again after a while, you are presented with an opportunity to edit the name of the file? I dont want to do that.

ya i looked through the api as well and could not find a method. Could i perhaps add some sort of listener for clicks and then override a method?
