I'm new in Juce and a noob in programming too (but I understand a lot...) .
I'm trying to create a FileTreeComponent just like the one in JuceDemo "AudioPlaybackDemo.cpp", but no result at all and only errors. I would appreciate a lot if someone told me an example of it...
I saw the documentation of juce classes for a FileTreeComponent, DirectoryContentsList and TimeSliceThread but i got a bit confused with them so i really need help from you.
FileTreeComponent isn't the easiest place to start. If you are just starting and you want to do file selection you might want to look at FileChooser and see if it'll do.
Otherwise, here's an example. Note that the construction/destruction order of the objects is important, and controlled by the order in which they are defined in the class (not the order they are called in the constructor...)
/** A design support class that displays a small square in the top left
of a component. When clicked it displays a pop up font selection menu.
When a font it selected it calls repaint on it's parent. */
class DesignerUserFontSelector
:
public Component,
public Button::Listener,
public FileBrowserListener
{
public:
DesignerUserFontSelector(Component & componentToRepaint,
Font & fontToControl)
:
comp(componentToRepaint),
fileChooser("Select a folder"),
thread("Directory Contents Scanning Thread"),
directoryContentsList(nullptr, thread),
tree(directoryContentsList),
openButton("Open Folder"),
font(fontToControl)
{
thread.startThread();
addAndMakeVisible(tree);
addAndMakeVisible(openButton);
openButton.addListener(this);
tree.addListener(this);
}
void resized()
{
tree .setBounds(getLocalBounds().withTrimmedBottom(20));
openButton .setBounds(getLocalBounds().withTop(getHeight()-20));
}
void updateFont(const Typeface::Ptr & typefaceToUse)
{
float h = font.getHeight();
font = Font(newTypeface);
font.setHeight(h);
comp.repaint();
}
void buttonClicked(Button *)
{
bool success = fileChooser.browseForDirectory();
if (success)
{
directoryContentsList.setDirectory(fileChooser.getResult(), true, true);
tree.refresh();
}
}
void fileClicked(const File & newFile, const MouseEvent &) override
{
MemoryBlock mb;
bool success = newFile.loadFileAsData(mb);
if (! success)
return;
if ( !(newFile.hasFileExtension("ttf") || newFile.hasFileExtension("otf")))
return;
newTypeface = Typeface::createSystemTypefaceFor(mb.getData(), mb.getSize());
updateFont(newTypeface);
}
/* Unused overrides from FileBrowserListener. */
void selectionChanged() override {}
void fileDoubleClicked(const File &) override {}
void browserRootChanged(const File &) override {}
private:
Component & comp;
FileChooser fileChooser;
/* Order matters. */
TimeSliceThread thread;
DirectoryContentsList directoryContentsList;
FileTreeComponent tree;
/* Order ceases to matter. */
TextButton openButton;
Typeface::Ptr newTypeface;
Font & font;
};
Thanks Bazrush for the reply...I saw your example and i used it but again I got an error like this " error C2512: 'CustomComponent2' : no appropriate default constructor available ".

I forgot to say that I have a main component window where CustomComponent2 class is shown.
Here is the header and cpp of MainComponent Class.

g.fillAll (Colour (0xff001F36));
g.setFont (Font (16.0f));
g.setColour (Colours::white);
g.drawText ("Hello World!", getLocalBounds(), Justification::centred, true);
}
void MainContentComponent::resized()
{
// This is called when the MainContentComponent is resized.
// If you add any child components, this is where you should

}
I have another CustomComponent class where i have created some buttons, a slider and a text editor to open files and save txt files and it works just fine.
Don't forget that i am a begginner in juce platform :P and my background in programming isn't very good, so i may have write something bad.
Yeah - you've left in lots of my stuff which you didn't need. You need to remove the stuff about fonts and the componentToRepaint which was my original application.
I think maybe a gentle introduction to C++ guide might be good too ;-)
class SomeClass { SomeClass(int someParameter) {} };
Then you can't do:
main () { SomeClass someInstanceOfTheClass;}
Because you need a parameter for the constructor (someParameter). You can have multiple constructors to choose from. But this is going to get way more complicated that can be explained here :)
Thanks again for the first reply ( i mean the example) .
I took the codes one by one and i found where the problem was...Actually the problem was at the FileBrowserListener so I removed that and now it works fine...I wanted to show a FileTreeComponent without a filechoser button, but for now its ok...maybe later I will try again to make it without a button so the files of a directory are shown directly in the tree component.
