I seem to have a problem with my very simple implementation of a file chooser dialogue that requires me to minimize Netbeans each time in order to get to it, and it gets pretty frustrating specially now with testing. I have seen a few solutions online including SO yet none seem to do the trick, while some other seem very lengthy and complicated for my current level. private void fileSearch() { JFileChooser fileSelect = new JFileChooser(); int returnVal = fileSelect.showOpenDialog(null); String pathToFile; if (returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) { File file = fileSelect.getSelectedFile(); pathToFile = file.getAbsolutePath(); try { P.binaryFileToHexString(pathToFile); } catch (Exception e) { System.out.print("Oops! there was an error there..." + e); } System.out.println("\nYou chose to open this file: " + file.getName()); } } Some of my try's include using; .requestFocus(); .requestFocusInWindow(); .setVisible(); Is there a particular attribute/method I can set in order to solve the problem?
