Customizing JFIleChooser

Hi,
I have an issue with JFileChooser. My application uses a JFileChooser to select a folder location. I need to customize the JFileChooser so that the user shud be able to select folders and only view files not select it. He shud be allowed to select/open only folders, not the files within it.
Thanks

Read the API docs... there's an option for DIRECTORIES_ONLY

Get state of checkbox in customized JFileChooser

I have built a custom JFileChooser that displays a JCheckBox as an accessory component.
// build an accessory panel for the file chooser
JPanel accesoryPanel = new JPanel(new GridLayout(2, 1));
accesoryPanel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createTitledBorder("Export options"));
JCheckBox checkbox = new JCheckBox ("Copy symbol files", isCopySymbolsDuringExportEnabled);
accesoryPanel.add (checkbox);
JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser("c:\\temp");
fc.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.DIRECTORIES_ONLY);
fc.setAccessory(accesoryPanel);
int returnVal = fc.showDialog(null, "Choose export directory");
exportDirectory = fc.getSelectedFile().getPath();
How do I refer to the checkbox to see whether the user checked it or not?
-Phil

Nevermind. As soon as I hit send I realized I can simply do
isCopySymbolsDuringExportEnabled= checkbox.isSelected();

Help with custom JFileChooser

Hello everyone,
I would like to customize JFileChooser to display a panel with some text above the folder browse section.
Is this possible... if so, could anyone provide some sample code on how to get this started?

I'm afraid you're on your own. Noone has [ever done something like that before|http://www.google.com/search?q=customizing jfilechooser].

Custom JFileChooser painting

Hi all, still new at swing and customizing their look and have a few questions regarding customizing the painting of a JFileChooser. First I would like to change the gradients of the buttons. Is this possible? Usually I have gone about changing a components paintComponent method(as below). But I have no idea how to do this when trying to set the painting of a child component. Probably possible to loop also through the child components and find the buttons, but then what?
Second I had used a recursive method to set child jpanel components of a JOptionPane to set them opaque and allow the JOptionPanes new custom paint to show through. I tried to apply that to the JFileChooser and am left with an area at the bottom and left that are the default colors.
I have added statement to also change any JComponent to setOpaque(false), but this doesnt help. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.
heres the sample and thanks again.

Your problem, I think, is that you are not setting the opaque on JPanels nested within other JPanels. a small recursive routine should fix this:
public MyOptionPane(Object message, int messageType, int optionType,
      Icon icon, Object[] options, Object initialValue) {
    super(message, messageType, optionType, icon, options, initialValue);
    mySetOpaque(this);
private void mySetOpaque(JComponent jcomp)
    Component[] comps = jcomp.getComponents();
    for (Component c : comps) {
      if (c instanceof JPanel) {
        ((JPanel)c).setOpaque(false);
        mySetOpaque((JPanel)c);
}

Custom JFileChooser

Hallo,
I created a custom filechooser dialog by putting a JFileChooser component on a panel of my dialog. I need to have a SAVE dialog. I did set the type to SAVE_DIALOG, did hide the control buttons...
When I do not select any file but write the name of the file in the textfield (of the JFileChooser component) I cannot access the file by getSelectedFile(), because this is null.
If i do not hide the control buttons and click to the approve button, I can access the file with getSelectedFile().
What happens, when the approve button is pressed? And what do I need to do to get the filename?
Thanks a lot.
Steffen

Some code would be appreciated, otherwise it's more difficult to recreate your scenario. Keep the code as minimal as can be though.
Cheers.

Customizing JFileChooser using Synth

I'm creating custom Look&Feel using synth, and I'm having problems with the toggle buttons which commute between list view an table view. I'm unable to set the inset margins for thos buttons,
I've tried to use:

with no success.
Any ideas ?

Customizing JFileChooser (File Size) Need Help

Can you help me with this. I want to customize my JFileChooser. I'm in a Windows environment so the file view that I see is same with that of the option pane of windows. What I would like to do is make the size that is viewed from the screen from ##KB to specific bytes size. (ex. 34421245). Can someone help me on this. I was able to see some codes on the net but those codes are not straightforward. They override the BasicFileChooserUI. Can someone help me on this. I don't want to override the BasicFileChooserUI instead I want to use the JFileChooser and change the size from ###KB to bytes. Thank you. ^_^

Hi Rachel,
My best idea for that is to load the swf files externally, so
that each page is a different swf. A technique like this would be
very simple and quick to use, because it only loads what you need
when you need it.
For example, you'd set the intro page to load right away, and
then when you select "At Work" the intro page unloads and is
replaced by the at work page.
Another thing you may want to consider is holding the images
in an xml file, and then using some basic flash/xml intergration to
load each image as it's called. That way each image isn't stored in
the flash file causing it to increase in size, and instead is
actually loaded externally which is must faster.
There are some great tutorials, if you're intrested, on how
to do both of these at:
http://www.kirupa.com/
Hope I helped some!

JFileChooser and thumbnail view

How can I implement a custom JFileChooser that show thumbnail of image files such as TIFF and PNG?
As before, I used FileDialog on Windows XP for this purpose.
But FileDialog does not support multi file selection and file name filters.
I tried to implement custom FileView. (getIcon() method).
But it was so slow and strange.
Could you guys give me a advice on this problem?

Hi Dhiva,
materialized view is essentially a table that is produced from other tables based on a query. It's results are physically stored in the database and are refreshed either when the user requests ('on-demand refresh') or after commit.
A simple view is just a query stored in the database. It's results are not stored anywhere, they're calculated and returned to the user only when the view is queried.
Best regards,
Nikolay

Fine-tuning the appearance of JFileChooser

I have what I hope is a simple question:
I'm creating a customized JFileChooser. One of the cool things it does is it displays its own custom icons for the files. These icons are a bit bigger than the standard icons for my look-and-feel (Linux default LandF, whatever that is, in Java 1.5). These icons are about 45 pixels high. They look GREAT when viewing in the "icon" view, but when the user switches to the "list" view, they draw on top of eachother. Somehow JFileChooser doesn't know to leave more space.
Any suggestions on this?
And the other question, which I'm sure is a FAQ but I can't find it: I also have a file filter on this JFileChooser, and yet it gives the user the option of changing to "view any file type". Is there a way to turn that off? I really want to constrain what my users are doing.
Thanks

JFileChooser file select by doubleclick

To improve the user friendliness of my custom JFileChooser dialog, I want the user to be able to doubleclick on the file he wants to open, instead of having to click the file and then on open.
I thought it would be the simplest thing, but have not found any solutions. Adding a mouselistener to the JFileChooser will not return mouse events inside the file list itself, and the PropertyChangeListener does not respond to a double click action either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! :-)

Works automatically in the JFileChoosers in my app (Win2K Pro). Could be the l&f or you are overriding the default mouse actions. A look at the code may help.

JFilehooser open button event trigger

Hi guys;
I've written a customized JFileChooser .
i'm using the propertyChangeListener() overriden method to implement the importing of a file...however I found it a little bit annoying that the importing is fired with a simple click on selected file...
what i need is that the import() method is only triggered when the open button of the filechooser is clicked...
Is it possible to do that without much changing my code ?
How can I implement this ?
thanks for helping !
here is my code:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.beans.*;
import java.io.File;
* @author E.othman
* Class for Loading seleted File
* FileLoader.java is used by FileChooser.java. */
public class FileLoader extends JComponent implements PropertyChangeListener {
    static boolean update = false;
    static File file = null;
    static JFileChooser fc;
    static JFrame frame;
    JavaUI ui;
      * constructor
      * @author E.othman
      * @return null
      * @param JavaUI reference to Main UI class , JFileChooser
    public FileLoader(JFileChooser fc,JavaUI ui) {
         FileLoader.fc=fc;
        this.ui=ui;

               if (!extension.equals(Utils.ppt)){
                    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(frame,file.getName()+ " Is Not a Valid PowerPoint File !","Select File Error",JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
                    return;
        if( !file.exists()){
             JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(frame,"File \""+file.getName()+ "\" Doesn't Exists !","Select File Error",JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
             return;
            fc.approveSelection();
            try{
                 PowerPointConverter a = new PowerPointConverter(ui);
                 a.setFile(file.getPath());
                     a.start();
           }catch(Exception e){
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(frame,e.getMessage(),"Error Importing Presentation",JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
             return;
    public void propertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent e) {
         update = false;
         String prop = e.getPropertyName();
        //If the directory changed, don't import.
        if (JFileChooser.DIRECTORY_CHANGED_PROPERTY.equals(prop)) {
            file = null;
            update = true;
        //If a file became selected, find out which one.
        } else if (JFileChooser.SELECTED_FILE_CHANGED_PROPERTY.equals(prop)) {
            file = (File) e.getNewValue();
             update = true;
        //do import.
        if (update) {
           if (isShowing()) {
                importFile(ui);
}

The propertyChange Listener is for the currently
selected file, and is indeed updated on every click.
What you want is code along the lines of:
if (myFileChooser.showDialog(parentFrame,
"Import")==JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION)
//..your import code
}I.e. from the place where you create and call the
file chooser dialog,
that's where you perform the import action after it's
been confirmed by the user.Thanks for the hint !
I can now have my functionality working fine !
Just another question please : I still don't want the importing to be triggered if the selected file is double-clicked . I got rid of single click problem. is it possible to make the importing launched only if i clicked the open button ? (disable double-clicking ?)
thanks for your time and precious help !

Restrict FileSystemView to a Directory

Trying to force my JFileChooser to restrict to only one directory so that users cannot navigate the file system. This custom JFileChooser will be used for playing or deleting files. Any sample code for restricting FileSystemView to a directory, much appreciated.

I'm facing a similar problem i think.
I want to initialize the JfileChooser with selected drives (obtained by a net use command).
I subcalsses the FileSystemView.
In the getRoots() I call the createFileSystemRoot() for each drive I want as root.
(i tried with "new File" or by getting a file from the createFileObject() )
In the getParent(), I check the user doesn't try to go uppser tha, the roots returning the specified root if needed
In the getHome(), I set a directory wich is or is under one of the sp�cified roots.
The result is : the JcomboBox only displays the roots specified, the home button doesn't use the OS root anymore, the level up button is restricted and doen't go outside the roots specified.
The only problem i'm not able to sove :
The JcomboBox is not refresh correctly.
The standard behaviour is :
the combobox displays the curent folder name, when expadning the combo box, it dsiplays all the rrots and expand the hierachy from the root of the current folder to the folder
eg :
root1
folder1
folder2
In my case, the current forlder is correctly displayed in the combo box but when I click on it to expand it, I only see the roots ... not the sub folders as explained in the standard behaviour.
Help is welcome...

ImageObserver and rescaled image

Hi,
I got a custom JFileChooser, where the user can see image previews.
The little problem is, for large images, the rescale-method takes a few seconds to show the
image on the custom view component. How can i(in general for unscaled pictures too) show the
current status of the image(maybe during rescaling).
regards.

ok, so now I have:
public class Goomba implements java.awt.image.ImageObserver
That gives me an error that: Goomba should be declared abstract; it does not define
imageUpdate(java.awt.image, int, int, int, int, int) in Goomba
So I tried putting imageUpdate(gi, 0, pos_x, pos_y, 50, 50) .........and I still get the same error.
If this helps, heres the code in question:
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.net.*;
public class Goomba implements java.awt.image.ImageObserver
     private int pos_x;
     private int pos_y;
     private int x_speed;
     private int first_x;
     private int first_y;
     private int maxspeed;
Image gi;
     private final int x_leftout = 25;
     Player player;
//calls this everytime we want a new goomba
// x is the x position
// y is the y position
// vx is the speed
// player is the player
// goomba_image is the actual image of the goomba
     public Goomba (int x, int y, int vx, Player player, Image goomba_image)
          pos_x = x;
          pos_y = y;
          first_x = x;
          first_y = y;
          x_speed = vx;
gi = goomba_image;
          this.player = player;
//--------------------cut out the rest of the code for Goomba ---------------------
     public void DrawGoomba(Graphics g)
//tried this when it gave me the imageUpdate error:
//imageUpdate(gi, 0, pos_x, first_y, 50, 50);
          g.drawImage(gi, pos_x, first_y, 50, 50, this);
}

Ordering of files once a custom FileView has been set in a JFileChooser.

My end user has a requirement for custom icons in a JFileChooser. I have created a custom FileView but find that the ordering of files and directories is different to the order presented in the default FileView.
For example in the default FileView, the directories are listed first and the files next.
In my custom FileView, I see that the files and directories are listed in ascending alphabetical order, so that files and directories are all listed together.
Attempting to alter the order using a custom FileSystemView with the method public File[] getFiles(File dir,boolean useFileHiding) where the returned file array is in the required order, is still defeated.
I would be grateful for some assistance.

I've tried it, but it will only accept an ID in the new format, i.e., an email address. The old ID was a 7 character alpha only.

Strange behavior in JTable using JFileChooser as custom editor

I have an application that I am working on that uses a JFileChooser (customized to select images) as a custom editor for a JTable. The filechooser correctly comes up when I click (single click) on a cell in the table. I can use the filechooser to select an image. When I click on the OPEN button on the filechooser, the cell then displays the editor class name.
I have added prints to the editor methods and have determined that editing is stopped before the JTable adds the listener. I have looked at the code and have searched doc for examples but have not found what I am doing wrong. Can anyone help?
I configured the table editor as follows:
//Set up the editor for the Image cells.
private void setUpPictureEditor(JTable table) {
table.setDefaultEditor(String.class, new PictureChooser());
Below is the code for the JTable editor that I am using:
