Question about making folder directory and explorer...

[nananya]

I am trying to make these in java applet...and i had found how to make directory but how to display the selected folder's file in another frame?
Just like this:

And how to display them in different icon?
like movie file display with player icon,audio file in sound wave icon...etc.

I am using this code for the directory:
File folder Tree with icons : Tree*«*Swing JFC*«*Java

I hope there is anyone can help me...
Thank you.

Here is my code until now:

The code you linked to shows how to use different icons in the tree view.

If you do not want to supply your own icons (as that code does) have a look at the FileSystemView class.

[nananya]

ya...I didn't use icon for my directory but i wish to use icon on the file inside the folder...
and my question is how to transfer the file in the folder to show in another frame and with icon...
Anyway, thanks for your reply.
