Using the FileTreeComponent

General JUCE discussion
1

I’m setting up the FileTreeComponent to display the computer folder structure and files, so the user can pick the files. So far things are working correctly. The only thing I have no clue on how to do is how to know when a file was selected. I couldn’t find any examples of it. I know that a good programmer would know how to do it, but I’m doing so many things at once here, that my brain is melting and I can’t seem to figure it out… :expressionless: :oops:

File folder (File::getSpecialLocation (File::userDocumentsDirectory)); WildcardFileFilter* fileFilter=new WildcardFileFilter("*.dll;*.WusikPRST","Files"); directoryList = new DirectoryContentsList (fileFilter, thread); directoryList->setDirectory(folder, true, true); thread.startThread (3); addAndMakeVisible(cTreeView = new = FileTreeComponent(*directoryList)); cTreeView->setRootItemVisible(true);

Don’t forget to call “thread.stopThread (10000);” at the destructor.

Best Regards, WilliamK

A FileTreeComponent is just a TreeView, so you can override its itemSelectionChanged() method to handle the selection changes.

Sorry to be dense, but you mean like this?

[code]//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
class JUCE_API FileTreeComponentEx : public FileTreeComponent
{
public:

FileTreeComponentEx (DirectoryContentsList& listToShow);

[/code]

And instead of using

FileTreeComponent * tView

I use

FileTreeComponentEx* tView

?

It works for some things. But

itemSelectionChanged()

is part of TreeViewItem which I can’t seem to find a way to override. :frowning:

Wait, I think I get it now. I need to override and copy a lot of things. :wink:

I see the example TreeViewDemo.cpp used by the Juce Demo application.

I will use that as a base.

Sorry again. :oops:

I’m posting my partial solution here, just so any n00b people can also take a look at it. I’m still implementing the rest of the stuff I want to add. Like Loading, Deleting, Insert-new-directory, Move (copy and Paste) and so on…

Header:

[code]
class FileTreeComponentEx : public FileTreeComponent
{
public:
FileTreeComponentEx (DirectoryContentsList& listToShow);

const File getSelectedFile (const int index) const throw();

};[/code]

I’m not using the whole code yet. And I couldn’t really override some of the stuff as the FileListTreeItem class is NOT in the Juce .h files. At least I couldn’t find it… still, since I will do a lot of changes, I don’t mind copying the whole code.

One thing I still need to figure out, is how to hide folders with no files. Specially when I use a filter like “piano*.sfz” to search for piano sounds…
