I posted the below on 12/15/00 and didn't get a response: I'm hoping it
just fell through the holiday cracks, but if what I want is flat
impossible, I'd appreciate a quick "That's impossible" from someone
knowledgeable (or a pointer to another newsgroup or other resource).
TIA.

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

I'm using a JFileChooser (1.3.0).  I want my users to be able to choose
a directory only, so I've done:
setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.DIRECTORIES_ONLY).

I'll setControlButtonsAreShown(false) and roll my own Approve/Cancel
buttons.

This is my question: is there a way to make the "File name: /_____/
/_OPEN_/" dialog not appear, since it's not only inappropriate in the
DIRECTORIES_ONLY context, but will puzzle my users.
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

I'd also like to modify the standard "File name: /______/" label to more
appropriately read, "Directory selected: /____/"
