Hi,
is there something equivalent to Swing's FileSystemView in SWT?
I want to get the System-Icons for Drives, Network-Directories
Special-Folders, Files etc.
To get the Icon of a file by extension I can do the following.
---------------
Program program = Program.findProgram(extension); ImageData imageData =
(program == null ? null : program.getImageData()); image = (imageData !=
null)? new Image(shell.getDisplay(), imageData): defaultFileIcon; ----------
-----
But how to get the Icons for a drive or directory?
In Swing I can read this with a single line of code
---------------
Icon icon = FileSystemView.getFileSystemView().getSystemIcon(file);
---------------
Thanks,
Michael

Hi Michael,
I hope you are asking for Windows. If so, you can do the followings:
1. Windows system Icons are normally kept in system32.dll, to specific IDs.
You can browse MSDN Documentation or just use snippet32 to see the Icon
extracted from system32.dll and make several Iterations.
2. How to get the Icon: take a look of Program.getImageData(), you have to
Copy&Paste somewhere accessible and to put a String as param, something as
getImageData(String sDllWithIndex)
and to call it like that, by example:
getImageData("C:\\WINNT\\system32\\shell32.dll,-2")
Iterating enough you'll see (snip32) all Resources kept there. Sure, is
better if you find Windows Docs.
3. You can take a look also to:
http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.platform.swt/m sg18188.html
Regards,
Tiberiu
PS. By the way, Steve Northover asked me to enter a bug regarding Icons (I
did it : Bug 86785 but it seems no much movement around so minor problems)

Should a separate one be filed for just the File-related icons?

Thanks for your answers.
I'm new to SWT and wanted to create some kind of directory-tree
with all drives, network directories...
I always though the desktop integration of SWT were better than this from
swing ;(
In AWT/Swing you can get all the roots using the
sun.awt.shell.ShellFolder.get("fileChooserComboBoxFolders");
and their names with FileSystemView.getFileSystemView()
..getSystemDisplayName(File file)
or icons with FileSystemView.getFileSystemView().getSystemIcon(File file)
Is it imposible in SWT to create such an direcory tree, which works on all
supported platforms?
Thanks,
Michael

Hi Tiberiu,
thank you. Yes I need it for windows (at first), but it should work on all
supported platforms when possible.
The directory dialogs from SWT does ist too.
The Icons for files (when the extension is known) are not the problem, I
can read them using Program.getImageData()
What I need are the drive and special directory icons and
their names (like Desktop, Workstation...). In Swing I can read it using
the FileSystemView-class.
Of course, I could write a OCX and use it in my program, but
this works only in windows.
I was hopping there is a build-in-support in SWT for such tasks.
Thanks,
Michael
