Okay, sorry for the confusion.

I am concerned about two panels in a project, one of which allows users to
select one/multiple files, and the second which allows them to choose an
output directory.

I have two file choosers (and am using JDK 1.3.0), one in each panel, and
I do not use any showDialogs. I am doing my own Approve/Cancel buttons,
and am doing setControlButtonsAreShown(false) and roll my own
Approve/Cancel buttons.

What happens is that the IDE's Design view shows the Open button in the
first (FILES_AND_DIRECTORIES) filechooser and the Open and Cancel buttons
in the second (DIRECTORIES_ONLY) filechooser, but at runtime, the Open and
Cancel buttons are not visible--just my own Approve Choices/Cancel Choice
buttons. This is what I want.

My first question, about  "File name: /_____/ /_OPEN_/" dialog, is a
non-issue, since the "Open" only appears in Design view, and isn't going
to bother my users.

My question is how to modify the "File name: /_____/" label in my second
(DIRECTORIES_ONLY) filechooser so that it says "Directory chosen".

Perhaps the post that followed yours (by Niall Pemberton) will deal with
this.
