In swing-pre-1.0 with JDK1.1.5, 'List' selection icon button at the top right of
the JFileChooser (which should display the file list in a more
concise manner, in several columns) cannot be selected. The user cannot
'press' it with mouse click.

This can be seen in the SwingSet FileChooser. This only occurs in Windows 95 and Windows NT.

The following code also illustrates this:

import com.sun.java.swing.JFrame;
import java.io.File;
import com.sun.java.swing.JFileChooser;

class FileChooserBug2
  {
  public static void main(String args[])
    {
    JFrame f = new JFrame("FCB"); // Why do I must to specify this silly parent frame?
    JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser(); // Ok, ok, at least it is documented behaviour :)
    int rc = fc.showDialog(f);
    System.out.println("rc:" + rc);
    System.exit(0);
    } // finish main
  } // finish class FileChooserBug2

The title describes the main problem, experienced with Swing 1.1.1Beta2. In addition, the "Details" button is pressed by default, but no file details are shown. The view is apparently equivalent to Windows' "List" view, despite the "Details" tooltip.

In JFileChooser, the "list" and "details" buttons don't work. The display seems to be a hybrid of the two - showing folders and files in only the left column but without any details.

The "details" view should show time/date stamps.

The "list" view should display in rows and comlumns to maximise the view without scrolling.

/*List and Details buttons on the JFileChooser dialog do not
appear to do anything. I am concerned that users of my product
will become confused by this.*/

C:\>java -version
Registry key 'Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\CurrentVersion'
has value '1.1', but '1.2' is required.

I have a JFileChooser and it is set up as follows :

        JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();

        chooser.setDialogTitle(dlgTitle);
        chooser.setFileHidingEnabled(true);
        chooser.setMultiSelectionEnabled(false);
        chooser.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.DIRECTORIES_ONLY);
        chooser.resetChoosableFileFilters();
        chooser.setCurrentDirectory(parentPath);
        chooser.rescanCurrentDirectory();
        chooser.validate();
        chooser.setFileSystemView(FileSystemView.getFileSystemView());
chooser.updateUI();

When I call the showDialog method, it seems to work fine, however, the details
button(in the upper right hand corner) is always selected and never allows me to
switch to the list view. All the examples in the swing page seem to show the
same issue. Am I not doing something right or is it in a future release or what?
Please letr me know
