JFileChooser appears along with the main form

[skiabox]

I have created a form and I added a JFileChooser on it.
When I start the form , the JFileChooser appears when the form loads.
I gave used netbeans fileChooser tutorial.(http://netbeans.org/kb/docs/java/gui-filechooser.html)
Any ideas?
Thank you.

Please paste ur code... It seems u are calling file chooser in constructor rather then in actionPerformed Method. Still itsnt clear until you paste your code.

Netbeans generates much of this code when you add a JFileChooser in a JFrame

[JamesCherrill]

Probably because on line 102 you add the file chooser to your window?

[skiabox]

I've fixed that by adding the fileChooser to Other Components node.
