Dear friends,I am trying to build a rich client. One of the capabilities is to display windows explore like file manager, and I was wondering if there is any control available to do that?I appreciate any help

Are you talking about a tree? If yes or not take your pick: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/components.htmlzadoka at 2007-7-8 23:28:07 >

well, I definitely use tree to display the folders on the left side of the split pane, but I am not sure what would be the appropriate component to display the detail information for each file or folder on the right side of the pane. By any chance, Is there any example that you can point me to it?
I searched the forum and most of the examples discuss how to use JTree and display the file system, but i rarely saw any thing about displaying the files information if any tree node was selected.

What about a JTable?You haven't defined what you want it to look like.Take a look at the link I gave you. Then remember that you can customize the components to look and work however you want.zadoka at 2007-7-8 23:28:07 >

Thanks for the quick respond and your suggestions.
I was wondering if there is any component or any tool which does the job, even if it is a commercial application. All I am looking for is the look and feel of the native windows explorer, and I was hoping that somebody done it before and we don't have to start from scratch.

Maybe the FileExplorer-Demo of the JDIC-project is what you are looking for?https://jdic.dev.java.net/#demosthe12huntersa at 2007-7-8 23:28:07 >
