I want to change the "List" button text under the "View Menu" menu, but i can't find the way to do it. Here is a picture of the file chooser window.
I tried these, but didn't work:
UIManager.put("FileChooser.listViewButtonText", "Test1");
UIManager.put("FileChooser.listViewButtonName", "Test2");
UIManager.put("FileChooser.listButtonText", "Test3");
UIManager.put("FileChooser.listViewButtonAccessibleName", "Test4");
chooser.updateUI();
Has anyone encoutered this? Also, if possible i would like to change right click menu texts as well.
Thank you in advance.
These are the values that must be changed:
UIManager.put("FileChooser.detailsViewActionLabelText", "mytext");
UIManager.put("FileChooser.listViewActionLabelText", "myothertext");
You can see the installed values in sun.swing.FilePane
class in installDefaults
method:
protected void installDefaults() {
Locale l = getFileChooser().getLocale();
listViewBorder = UIManager.getBorder("FileChooser.listViewBorder");
listViewBackground = UIManager.getColor("FileChooser.listViewBackground");
listViewWindowsStyle = UIManager.getBoolean("FileChooser.listViewWindowsStyle");
readOnly = UIManager.getBoolean("FileChooser.readOnly");
// TODO: On windows, get the following localized strings from the OS
viewMenuLabelText = UIManager.getString("FileChooser.viewMenuLabelText", l);
refreshActionLabelText = UIManager.getString("FileChooser.refreshActionLabelText", l);
newFolderActionLabelText = UIManager.getString("FileChooser.newFolderActionLabelText", l);
viewTypeActionNames = new String[VIEWTYPE_COUNT];
viewTypeActionNames[VIEWTYPE_LIST] = UIManager.getString("FileChooser.listViewActionLabelText", l);
viewTypeActionNames[VIEWTYPE_DETAILS] = UIManager.getString("FileChooser.detailsViewActionLabelText", l);
kiloByteString = UIManager.getString("FileChooser.fileSizeKiloBytes", l);
megaByteString = UIManager.getString("FileChooser.fileSizeMegaBytes", l);
gigaByteString = UIManager.getString("FileChooser.fileSizeGigaBytes", l);
fullRowSelection = UIManager.getBoolean("FileView.fullRowSelection");
renameErrorTitleText = UIManager.getString("FileChooser.renameErrorTitleText", l);
renameErrorText = UIManager.getString("FileChooser.renameErrorText", l);
renameErrorFileExistsText = UIManager.getString("FileChooser.renameErrorFileExistsText", l);
}
