Class FileDialogHints

java.lang.Object
com.codename1.io.filechooser.FileDialogHints
public final class FileDialogHints extends Object

Platform specific hints for FileDialogRequest#hint(String, Object).

A hint tunes a native dialog in a way only some platforms can. A platform that does not know a hint ignores it, so an application can set every hint it cares about unconditionally. The prefix names the platform that reads it.
