Printable View
Hi,
I'm new to SWT and I'm looking for a file browser control for an Eclipse Plug-In. I know SWT has one, but it shows files in a list, what I need is 'Icon view', similar to windows explorer.
I tried googling for a custom SWT controls that would offer such functionality, but didn't find anything.
What would be the easiest way to implement a crossplatform file browser control like this? Does anyone have any tips?
Are you looking an Eclipse plug-in or an application similar to explorer?
For the first part of my question, I'm not an Eclipse user. So I can't say anything about that. If you are talking about a plug-in then this is not the correct forum to discuss it. In that case I can move you to the correct place, let me know if you want and don't start a new thread again.
If you want to develop a similar application as explorer, you can use the tree view for that. Just search on the web and see a simple example.
I'm talking about an SWT control.Quote:

I'm looking for the easiest way to implement such functionality in SWT, because none of the original SWT controls seem to support it.
That mean rather than displaying folders on the tree view you want to display files(content of the folder) also. It's not possible directly I think using tree view. Try to do it custom ways, look at all members of TreeView. You may find a solution for that.
Allright, thank you.
Read the documnet, I'm not remember in details about TreeView.
