Bug? FileChooser InitialFileName Exception

[rwblinn]

Hi,

using below FileChooser fc.InitialFileName gives exception in runnable

' Select a new file
Sub buttonOpen_Action
    Dim fc As FileChooser
    fc.Initialize
    fc.InitialDirectory = File.DirApp
    fc.InitialFileName = "ronoteritems.txt"        '<-- exception
    fileNotes = fc.ShowOpen(MainForm)
    Log(fileNotes)
End Sub

Thank You

Works for me. You need to post the stack trace from the logs pane so we can see what the actual exception is. Take a screenshot or right click on the Logs pane to copy to the clipboard.

I can't reproduce that error, it works fine for me although I note that InitialFileName is only displayed in a Save dialog and not an Open dialog.

The error is a MissingMethod error. Make sure you have Java 7 update 6 or later on your system, although if it were an earlier version I wouldn't have thought it would have successfully compiled that code in the first place.

Upgrading to a newer version of Java should solve this error.

The code is already compiled so the compiler doesn't "touch" it.

Upgraded to JDK1.7.0_45 (from _25) and same for JRE.
The file chooser dialog pops up now, but the filename inputfield remains empty, although

fc.InitialFileName = "ronoteritems.txt"

Probably as in my post above

I note that InitialFileName is only displayed in a Save dialog and not an Open dialog.

I've improved the documentation to make it more clear.

The method will also be more resilient and will not crash on older versions of JavaFX.
