The default button in JFileChooser

Is it possible to make either the 'save' or 'cancel' button the default button (the one that will be pressed when the user presses the 'enter' key after the dialog is shown) in a save-dialog ?
It will probably involve setting the focus to either one of these buttons, but it is unclear how I can do that.
Thanks in advance.

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"};

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.

How to set the default button of an ALERT

Can someone help me how to set the alert propety to change the default button from button1 to button2.Not from the prioperty palette, but inside the code using like set_alert_property.I am using the Oracle Forms 10g.
Thanks in advance.
Srini

To the best of my knowledge, the default button cannot be set at runtime. This must be set at design time in the Builder.
Refer to the Forms Builder online help for details:

OutlineField and the Default Button

Hello all,
We are currently using the Forte 3.0.G.2. I have recently come
across the situation where I am unable to understand the behavior of the
default button. The situation is this:
Whenever I am including the Outline Field as one of the widgets in
any of my windows that particular window will not respond to the default
button. I am attaching the pex file so you can run the test windows and see
the problem.
Can someone please tell me if I am doing something wrong or is this a
known/unknown bug?
<<DefaultBtn.pex>>
Thanks in advance.

Hi Kamran!
What happens is that when the focus is on outline fields, the enter key
fires a doubleclick event and ignores the default button. So you need to
capture the doubleclick event and do whatever you want your button to do.
Here's a quote from Forte support
"Unfortunately, this is a documentation issue. The IsDefaultButton only
works when focus is on a simple DataField, because in all of the complex
fields, including TextField, TextEditField, TreeView and ListView as well
as OutlineField, the Enter key has a separate and defined action. On
Tree/ListViews and OutlineFields that is DoubleClick.
You COULD catch the DoubleClick on the OutlineField and post a click event
on the default button, however I'd encourage caution with that, since this
could cause some unexpected behavior if someone were counting on the Enter
(or a mouse double-click) to behave in our standard way."

Jump the cursor to the default button in Mavericks?

Does anyone know of a way to jump the cursor to the default button in Mavericks? I found a third-party product called Steer Mouse, but it's $20 and that seems high for a one trick pony.
Any help would be appreciated.

Unfortunately, it's not that easy with setButtonIcons because it forces you to specify rollover and disabled icons, for instance. So it doesn't help if you just want the default grey filtered icons when disabled. Also, you can't just subclass JUNavigationBar either since most of what you need is private. We took the brute force approach and just copied the JUNaviationBar source and modified it.
Basically, just create a new class with the same source as JUNavigationBar and replace the private icon filename strings to your icon file names:
public class NavigationBar
extends JToolBar
implements ActionListener, RowSetListener, JUNavigationBarInterface, JUTransactionStateListener
private static final String BUTTON_FIRST_ICON = "first.png";
private static final String BUTTON_PREV_ICON = "single_arrow_left.png";
private static final String BUTTON_NEXT_ICON = "single_arrow_right.png";
private static final String BUTTON_LAST_ICON = "last.png";
private static final String BUTTON_INSERT_ICON = "add.png";
private static final String BUTTON_DELETE_ICON = "delete.png";
private static final String BUTTON_COMMIT_ICON = "save.png";
private static final String BUTTON_ROLLBACK_ICON = "refresh.png";
private static final String BUTTON_FIND_ICON = "find_next.png";
private static final String BUTTON_EXECUTE_ICON = "query.png";
...We also modified some calls in the class' constructor during button setup that made the toolbar not floatable and various other things.
Hope this helps.

How to Make the Default Button Marker Not Show Upon Launching...

I am trying to only have the markers show up on the menu item when you roll over it. However, when the menu is first launched, the marker is automatically showing up on the first button.
I have selected "None" as the default menu button in the menu config. I am also using Photoshop to make the menu and creating the (+) buttons there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Create an invisible button (turn off the visibility of all layers) and
set it to use Highlight Group 2 (edit the Menu Color Set). Set the
opacity of all the highlight states to 0%. Make the invisible button
the default button.

How to change the text in the Cancel button of JFileChooser ?

Hello,
In french the standart text in the Cancel button of the JFileChooser class is "Annuler". For a good reason which will be too long to explain, I need to change it by another term.
I tried to create a super class and redefine the CANCEL_SELECTION string, but this does not work. I can't either change it directly because it has the final attribute.
Where does JFileChooser get this word from ? ( I guess it is not hard coded for multilanguage support purpose).
Any help would be appreciated
Gege

I believe the standard Look and feel implementations look in UIManager for a string called FileChooser.cancelButtonText.
Therefore you might be able to change it after you've loaded your LnF by using the following code:
UIManager.put("FileChooser.cancelButtonText", "---change me---");Note that this would change all file choosers in your application.
If you only want to update one type of file chooser you could extend, for example, MetalFileChooserUI and set its cancel button text by overriding installStrings. You'd then need to install this UI on the file chooser you want to change.
There may be an easier way to do this!
Hope this helps.

Move cursor directly to the default button "Print" when printing documents

In internet explorer when the print dialog box opens, the cursor automatically goes to the "print" button so that all I have to do is click. In Mozilla Firefox, I have to move the cursor across the screen to the "print" button. Is there any way to set this up as a default action in Mozilla? Thanks for your help!

No there isn't that I have ever head about, but the '''OK''' button has "focus" so you can hit the '''Enter''' key to start printing.

Is there a way to change the defaulted (press 'Enter or Return on keyboard) button in a dialog box? Specifically,

When the cookie preference is set to "ask every time" the default button (highlighted & selected when I hit return or enter) is "allow." Can I change the default button to "allow for session" so I don't have to use the mouse to select it?

Your question/suggestion got me thinking about making a programmable function key (PFK), but I couldn't think how to make a PFK represent a mouse click. Then I tried the option [ ⌥ ] key (I don't have Alt [⎇ ] ) and the s, with or without the shift. I tried the command [⌘] key, and finally the control [⌃] key with the s — that's the one that worked. 8¬D
I remembered scripting radio buttons, which might apply here, but it's been too long ago.
Thank you for pointing me in a new direction, that will do well enough 'till I find out if the default button(s) can be changed in dialog boxes in general.
