subject: Linda Hncck Review [print this page] JComponentPack is a Java Swing GUI library, a visual JavaBeans collection, it's based on the Swing MVC architecture and 100% pure Java, it includes more than 20 components that Swing haven't, such as excel style Java spreadsheet component, database enabled Java table component, calendar, list view, wizard framework and many more, these beans can drag to your GUI form directly, all the components are ready to use, they can improve your productivity, accelerate your project development process, save time, reduce costs for your team.
Do you have a recommended way of hiding "My Network Places" from the JDirChooser tree under Windows? The JDirChooser component have a method named "setFileFilter", you can use a FileFilter to filter out the folder you wanted.
If there is a way to populate the tree in your JDirChooser with a specific JList of files.I mean not the files physically on the computer ...It could permit the user to select a directory which is not on his own machine but on another system which is not directly accessible.
Create JDirChooser with a "javax.swing.filechooser.FileSystemView", so which you need is write a class extends "FileSystemView" and provides the files you what to create.
I'm interested in the JLinkButton, but I want to know more about how it launches an external browser... Can you tell me more about what it does to determine the browser on each platform (particularly Windows, Solaris and Linux) and how it launches them? Also, is there just a utility class that I can use to programmtically launch a URL in a browser without using the Button UI element?
Yes, you can use some utilities class to launch URL, the utilities class includes in the JLinkButton package, but for some Application environment, such as Applet, some methods rely JLinkButton container information, The utilities class also include some methods to launch URL in Application environment, you can use it directly. Determines the platform in Java, it seems only via the System properties "os.name", launch commend is different on every platform.
