Java – set the location of Jfilechooser

How do we set the location of the Jfilechooser window? I tried the setlocation () and setbounds () methods, but it didn't work

Solution

Unfortunately, there is no easy way to do this, because whenever a selector is displayed, the internal createdialog method sets the location to the center of the parent

One method is to inherit Jfilechooser and override the createdialog method, as shown below:

static class MyChooser extends JFileChooser {
        protected JDialog createDialog(Component parent)
                throws HeadlessException {
            JDialog dlg = super.createDialog(parent);
            dlg.setLocation(20,20);
            return dlg;
        }
    }

Now you can use mychooser directly instead of Jfilechooser In the above code, I have hard coded the location as 20,20, but you can set it to anything you want
