JavaFX Tutorial - FileChooser, Save/Load Dialogs
One common task needed of many GUIs is to save and load files. The JavaFX FileChooser controls can greatly simplify our lives for this task, and they are pretty easy to setup. In this JavaFX Tutorial, we'll show examples of how to use the save dialog and load dialog in a JavaFX application. Since we often save and load files from a menu, this tutorial will build upon our previous example of JavaFX Menus. The JavaFX FileChooser will open the default file choose of the selected OS, so the look and feel will remain consistent with what users are accustomed to.
This tutorial will cover:
Saving files
Loading files
Remembering the selected directory
Restricting the file extensions
Opening multiple files
The dialog that opens and saves files is the FileChooser.
