Hello,

Do you know a component providing a tree view of the filesytem? (like
the left part of windows explorer but also showing the files)

I plane to use it in a commercial product, so it must be a LGPL or
commercial component...

I wrote a basic version of this component. I used a JTree and get the
data from a JFileChooser. It works but slowly. And there's many
features not implemented... I'm not particulary interested in
optimizing it, that why i'm asking for a redistributable component...

Thank You

regards,

Vincent

Why did you get the files through JFileChooser?
Making a TreeModel using information from
File.listFiles() is quite easy.

We started with some code from this Swing book (that I purchased 
recently): http://www.manning.com/sbe/

http://manning.com/sbe/files/uts2/Chapter17html/Chapter17.htm

The source code for the examples are at:
http://manning.com/sbe/files/uts2/swing.zip

We just added some logic for lazy loading of the file structure and
refreshing the file list based on the timestamp of the directory nodes.

thanks for this link. For me it's to different from a system explorer,
but I will merge it with my version to get some interesting ideas...

that's a good idea, I will do it...

I wonder if you know how to set the tree to have a simple clig drag.
In fact with the default settings you have to click once to select the
node and to click a second time and move to drag the node. If you just
click and move to drag a non selected node it just select it. Do you
know how to change it?

Thanks again.

Goodbye

Hunt on the Sun web site for JTreeTable. The sample program supplied
with the source does something that might be what you're looking for.
It has models, the lot.
