disabling "rename" on JFileChooser

843804Apr 26 2002 — edited Aug 31 2006
Hi,
I have to disable the rename option on JFileChooser. I understand that I'll have to extend the MetalFileChooserUI class and override the inner class definition of SingleClickListener in order to achieve this. I did exactly the same. But the result was not convincing. First of all the display went wrong. Only the names were displayed, the icons disappeared. Then when I clicked on the file names, it threw up NullPointerExceptions. Can anyone suggest the correct way to do it ?? Thanx.

Regards,
Guru

no, there isn't. Some LAFs (like Nimbus f.i.) do - but the way it's done there disrespects render's responsibility

thanks for the info! i checked the tree highlighter code of the great Santhosh Kumar from http://jroller.com/santhosh/entry/highlight_a_node_s_descendants
and made my own solution. in case anyone needs it as well, see below. the only annoyance remaining is that i always have to click on the text of a node in order to select it. of course i'd like to click anywhere in a node's row, even on whitespace, in order to select it. does anyone know how to do this properly?

thank you very much, aterai! your help is very appreciated :) my application has different look and feel, so i can't bind myself to metal look and feel. your solution however is great, i'll see if i can adapt it to be LAF-independent.

in the meantime i also came up with a solution as well. basically i add a mouselistener and use the tree's getClosestRowForLocation method:
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Container;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Rectangle;
import java.awt.event.MouseAdapter;
import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;
import java.awt.event.MouseListener;

import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
import javax.swing.JTree;
import javax.swing.event.TreeSelectionEvent;
import javax.swing.event.TreeSelectionListener;
import javax.swing.tree.DefaultTreeCellRenderer;
import javax.swing.tree.TreePath;

public class TreeExample2 {

	public static Color selectedColor = new Color(115,164,209);
	public static Color selectedBorderColor = new Color(57,105,138);
	
	public static void main(String args[]) {
		
		JFrame f = new JFrame("JTree Sample");
		f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
		Container content = f.getContentPane();

		
		// custom tree handling
		final JTree tree = new MyTree();
		MyTreeCellRenderer renderer = new MyTreeCellRenderer();
		renderer.setBorderSelectionColor(null); // remove selection border
		renderer.setBackgroundSelectionColor( null); // remove selection background since we paint the selected row ourselves
		tree.setCellRenderer( renderer);

  	// send repaint event when node selection changes; otherwise sometimes the border remained visible although the selected node changed 
		TreeSelectionListener treeSelListener = new TreeSelectionListener() {
			public void valueChanged(TreeSelectionEvent evt) {
				tree.treeDidChange();
			}
		};
		tree.addTreeSelectionListener(treeSelListener);
		
		// handle mouse clicks outside of the node's label
		// mouse begin ----------------------------------------------------------------
		MouseListener ml = new MouseAdapter() {
			public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
				int selRow = tree.getClosestRowForLocation( e.getX(), e.getY());
				if( selRow != -1) {
					Rectangle bounds = tree.getRowBounds( selRow);
					boolean outside = e.getX() < bounds.x || e.getX() > bounds.x + bounds.width || e.getY() < bounds.y || e.getY() >= bounds.y + bounds.height;
					if( outside) {
						
						tree.setSelectionRow(selRow);
						System.out.println( "manual selection: " + selRow);
						
						// handle doubleclick
						if( e.getClickCount() == 2) {
							if( tree.isCollapsed(selRow))
								tree.expandRow( selRow);
							else if( tree.isExpanded( selRow))
								tree.collapseRow( selRow);
						}
						
					} else {
						System.out.println( "auto selection: " + selRow);
					}
				}
			}
		};
		tree.addMouseListener(ml);		
		// mouse end ----------------------------------------------------------------
		
		// add tree to frame and show frame
		JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(tree);
		content.add(scrollPane, BorderLayout.CENTER);
		f.setSize(400, 600);
		f.setVisible(true);
	}

	public static class MyTree extends JTree {

		protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {

			// paint background
			g.setColor(getBackground());
			g.fillRect(0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight());

			// paint selected node's background and border
			int fromRow = getRowForPath( getSelectionPath());
			if (fromRow != -1) {
				int toRow = fromRow + 1;
				Rectangle fromBounds = getRowBounds(fromRow);
				Rectangle toBounds = getRowBounds(toRow - 1);
				if (fromBounds != null && toBounds != null) {
					g.setColor(selectedColor);
					g.fillRect(0, fromBounds.y, getWidth(), toBounds.y - fromBounds.y + toBounds.height);
					g.setColor(selectedBorderColor);
					g.drawRect(0, fromBounds.y, getWidth() - 1, toBounds.y - fromBounds.y + toBounds.height);
				}
			}

			// perform operation of superclass
			setOpaque(false); // trick not to paint background
			super.paintComponent(g);
			setOpaque(false);
		}
	}

	// trick to make renderer transparent for the unselected nodes 
	public static class MyTreeCellRenderer extends DefaultTreeCellRenderer {
		public MyTreeCellRenderer() {
			setBackgroundNonSelectionColor(null);
		}

		public Color getBackground() {
			return null;
		}
	}

}
