JFileChooser

Hi all,
Is there any way in Window Builder to add a JFileChooser as an actionPerformed of a component? I.e. without coding.

Thanks in advance.

Your can use WindowBuilder to add an actionPerformed event handler to a widget like a button. The tool can also optionally create a stub method that is called from the event handler. What you do in that event handler is up to you. Opening a file chooser would be one line of code.

It's obvious that we can easily instantiate a JFileChooser. But I want to know is there any specific and built-in method for this work in Window Builder.
Really, some configuration of JFileChooser (such as filter) is time consuming and I want to do it automatically.

I think, (from your text) , Window Builder hasn't this feature, isn't it correct?

Opening a JFileChooser is something you presumably want to do in response to an event. Not only do you need to open it, you also need to gather the response from the user and do something with it. That falls into the category of dynamic behavior rather than static GUI definition. WB is a GUI builder, but it is not a visual programming tool (not yet anyway).
