Class DirectoryChooser

java.lang.Object
javafx.stage.DirectoryChooser
public final class DirectoryChooser extends Object
Provides support for standard directory chooser dialogs. These dialogs have look and feel of the platform UI components which is independent of JavaFX. On some platforms where file access may be restricted or not part of the user model (for example, on some mobile or embedded devices), opening a directory dialog may always result in a no-op (that is, null file being returned).
Since:
JavaFX 2.1
