Default buttons on save dialog

Hi all,
I am working with one application and it has a save dialog box which is implemented using JFileChooser. On the Save dialog box, I see four buttons on the right. First of them is to go up a level, second is to go to home, third is for a new folder and the forth is to display file details. The first three are working fine, but the fourth one does not give any results. It I take my cursor on the button, the tool tip says "details", but when I click on that button, nothing happens. Do I need to do something special in my code to activate "details"??
Any help would be greatly appreaciated.
Thanks,
Namrata

I posted the same question more than one year ago. No answer yet.

Pointer does not move to the default button in the dialog box

example: when cleaning out trash the pointer does not go to the default button in the dialog box, you have to manually go there.
This happens all the time.

Automatically move mouse pointer to the default button.PNG ‏34 KB

Dear partha,
1) You can be able to trace out the location of the button
2) You can be able to move the cursor to that location
3) You can be able to automatically generate a click on that button
Use user32.dll to achieve all this. when u use it in CLN(Call Library Node), u can c functions 4 that.
Try and ask if further help needed!!!!!

Pointer won't move automatically to default button in dialog box in firefox 4

Since I installed firefox 4, the pointer won't automatically snap to the default button in a dialog box. For example, when I delete trash in yahoo mail, there is a dialog that ask if I want to delete files, but the pointer is not on the default button.

Thanks StephenB. Yes, it is now obvious that the default button has been selected without the cursor jumping to it, and as you say, hitting "Enter" does the job. Still not as natural a process as just clicking the cursor key and as your hand is already on the mouse it is probable faster to still move the cursor to the button.
Maybe Mozilla will fix it in the future so that the cursor jumps once more.

Shortcut for selecting non-default button in dialog boxes

I seem to remember that there was a keyboard shortcut many OSs ago. I can't seem to find it or replicate it. Particularly, I would like to choose the non-default button in a dialog box in Acrobat Pro for productivity's sake.
Thanks, Jon

Hi Jon, and a warm welcome to the forums!
No way to tell if Adobe follows the standard, but TAB generally moves through the Dialog buttons & Space Bar selects that choice where Enter/Return chooses the default blue button. Sometimes the CMD key + the first letter of the button selects it iirc. Sometimes the esc key passes for Cancel.
If it's not, in Sys Prefs change if the “Full keyboard access” under keyboard shortcuts is set to use text boxes and lists only, switch it to “All controls”.

Snap mouse pointer to default button doesn't work

Dear Community,
I own a W520 with W7professional. My mouse is the ThinkPad bluetooth Laser Mouse.
In the mouse properties window, I've activated the "Automatically move pointer to the default button in a dialog box" option but unfortunately it seems not working.
Any idea?
Best Regards,
Marco

hey calza_mc,
try uninstalling the mouse drivers and reinstall it.
also, do an update on your bluetooth drivers while you're at it

Strange behaviour on default button

Hi,
I have a frame which has a default button (the button which automatically gets triggered when enter key is pressed. And I am popping up a modal dialog on the JFrame which also has it's own default button.
The tester kept pressing the enter key for about 10 seconds without taking the finger off the enter key on the modal dialog and randomly the JFrame's default button is getting invoked.
I am setting the dialog as modal, but yet this happens. Do I have code anything else to avoid this thing from happening.
Thank you.

What happens when the user selected the default button on the dialog? Does that hide the dialog and give the main frame focus? If so, then you would extect the enter key press to go back and forth.
If that is not the problem, one option would be to disable the default button when you are processing a selection.

Set default filename for file save dialog on Save button click

Hi,
I am using AxAcroPDF (version 9.0) control to view pdf files in windows forms (C#). The pdf loads into the viewer in the form. Now, when I click on the Save button in the viewer, a Save dialog pops up with a default filename having complete path info.
If I have loaded the pdf file into AxAcroPDF viewer with filename:
"C:\Documents and Settings\KB_Kravi\My Documents\CustomerList.pdf"
then in the save dialog, the default filename will be:
"C_Documents_and_Settings_KB_Kravi_My Documents_CustomerList.pdf"
Is there any option to set the default filename in the save dialog to some short name, instead of this lengthy name?
Thanks,
Ravi.

Hi,
I've found a solution.
public void Open(string filePath)
axAcroPDF.LoadFile(filePath);
//this will set the correct name in the save file dialog.
axAcroPDF.src = filePath;
Thanks for your help.

How to set a default button in a JFileChooser dialog?

How do I set the default button in a JFileChooser dialog?
Thanks in advance!
Thomas

public static JButton searchByText(Component comp, String[] texts) {
    if (comp instanceof JButton) {
        JButton btn = (JButton) comp;
        String text = btn.getText();
        for(int j=0; j<texts.length; ++j)
            if (text.equals(texts[j]))
                return btn;
        return null;
    if (comp instanceof Container) {
        Container cont = (Container) comp;
        for(int j=0, ub=cont.getComponentCount(); j<ub; ++j) {
            JButton result = searchByText(cont.getComponent(j), texts);
            if (result != null)
                return result;
    return null;
}You can call this method, passing it your JFileChooser and:
String[] approves = {"Open", "Save"};

BEx Web - Open/Save dialog - Set Default Type

Hi All,
In the BEx Open/Save dialog (accessed thru New Analysis button), shows "Views" in the Type drop down as default. Is there a way to set this type to Query by default?
Thanks & Regards,

Option is available in the XML code where the type of dataprovider can be selected as "QUERY" or "VIEW" or "INFOPROVDER".

Open/save dialog boxes stuck at (too small) default size

I've been having a relatively small issue with Mountain Lion that has become a big hassle. In past versions of OS X, whenever I'd resize an open/save dialog box in an application, it would be that size the next time I went to open/save. In Mountain Lion, however, those dialog boxes always default to the smallest possible size (which is too small to read a filename longer than a few characters). so I have to resize the dialog box — every time! I open and save a lot of files, so this gets pretty tedious. This doesn't seem to happen in apple programs, but it definitely does in the Office Suite and the Adobe Creative Suite, especially in CS4 Photoshop and Illustrator. Might be I can fix it by myself but I can't imagine where I may dig it.

Need help adding a default file name in a file chooser of save dialog type

I need to create a file chooser with save dialog type, how can I add a highlighted default file name into the File Name textfield? As in Microsoft Word, when you want to save a document, a default file name Doc1.doc will appear in the File name text field of the file chooser even when you change to other directories.

For JRE 1.4.0 you can use this fix:
public class FileChooserFix implements PropertyChangeListener {
private String fileName;
   * @see PropertyChangeListener
public void propertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent ev) {
    JFileChooser chooser = (JFileChooser)ev.getSource();
    if (JFileChooser.FILES_ONLY == chooser.getFileSelectionMode()) {
      if (JFileChooser.SELECTED_FILE_CHANGED_PROPERTY.equals(ev.getPropertyName())) {
        File selectedFile = (File)ev.getNewValue();
        if (selectedFile != null) {
          // remember fileName of selected file
          fileName = selectedFile.getName();
      if (fileName != null &&
          JFileChooser.DIRECTORY_CHANGED_PROPERTY.equals(ev.getPropertyName())) {
        // reset selected file
        File directory = (File)ev.getNewValue();
        chooser.setSelectedFile(new File(directory, fileName));
   * Convenience method to create a fixed file chooser.
   * @return      fixed file chooser
public static JFileChooser create() {
    JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
    chooser.addPropertyChangeListener(new FileChooserFix());
    return chooser;

Set default filename in JFileChooser (Save Dialog)

Hi,
how can i set a default filename in a JFileChooser-Save-Dialog?
The file does NOT exist, so setSelectedFile(new File("FileName")); does not work.
Thanks in advance.

Did you test this? It works fine for me.
