public class JTree

extends JComponent

implements Scrollable, Accessible

A control that displays a set of hierarchical data as an outline. A specific node can be identified either by a TreePath (an object that encapsulates a node and all of its ancestors), or by its display row, where each row in the display area displays one node.

An expanded node is one displays its children. A collapsed node is one which hides them. A hidden node is one which is under a collapsed parent. A viewable node is under a collapsed parent, but may or may not be displayed. A displayed node is both viewable and in the display area, where it can be seen.

These JTree methods use "visible" to mean "displayed":

• isRootVisible()
• setRootVisible()
• scrollPathToVisible()
• scrollRowToVisible()
• getVisibleRowCount()
• setVisibleRowCount()

These JTree methods use "visible" to mean "viewable" (under an expanded parent):

• isVisible()
• makeVisible()

If you are interested in knowing when the selection changes implement the TreeSelectionListener interface and add the instance using the method addTreeSelectionListener. valueChanged will be invoked when the selection changes, that is if the user clicks twice on the same node valueChanged will only be invoked once.

If you are interested in knowing either double clicks events or when a user clicks on a node, regardless of whether or not it was selected it is recommended you do the following:

 final JTree tree = ...;

 MouseListener ml = new MouseAdapter() {
     public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
         int selRow = tree.getRowForLocation(e.getX(), e.getY());
         TreePath selPath = tree.getPathForLocation(e.getX(), e.getY());
         if(selRow != -1) {
             if(e.getClickCount() == 1) {
                 mySingleClick(selRow, selPath);
             }
             else if(e.getClickCount() == 2) {
                 myDoubleClick(selRow, selPath);
             }
         }
     }
 };
 tree.addMouseListener(ml);
 

NOTE: This example obtains both the path and row, but you only need to get the one you're interested in.

To use JTree to display compound nodes (for example, nodes containing both a graphic icon and text), subclass TreeCellRenderer and use #setTreeCellRenderer to tell the tree to use it. To edit such nodes, subclass TreeCellEditor and use #setTreeCellEditor.

Like all JComponent classes, you can use JComponent.registerKeyboardAction(java.awt.event.ActionListener, java.lang.String, javax.swing.KeyStroke, int) to associate an Action object with a KeyStroke and execute the action under specified conditions.

See How to Use Trees in The Java Tutorial for further documentation.

For the keyboard keys used by this component in the standard Look and Feel (L&F) renditions, see the JTree key assignments.

Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. A future release of Swing will provide support for long term persistence.

Field Detail

treeModel

protected transient TreeModel treeModel

The model that defines the tree displayed by this object.

selectionModel

protected transient TreeSelectionModel selectionModel

Models the set of selected nodes in this tree.

rootVisible

protected boolean rootVisible

True if the root node is displayed, false if its children are the highest visible nodes.

cellRenderer

protected transient TreeCellRenderer cellRenderer

The cell used to draw nodes. If null, the UI uses a default cellRenderer.

rowHeight

protected int rowHeight

Height to use for each display row. If this is <= 0 the renderer determines the height for each row.

showsRootHandles

protected boolean showsRootHandles

True if handles are displayed at the topmost level of the tree.

A handle is a small icon that displays adjacent to the node which allows the user to click once to expand or collapse the node. A common interface shows a plus sign (+) for a node which can be expanded and a minus sign (-) for a node which can be collapsed. Handles are always shown for nodes below the topmost level.

If the rootVisible setting specifies that the root node is to be displayed, then that is the only node at the topmost level. If the root node is not displayed, then all of its children are at the topmost level of the tree. Handles are always displayed for nodes other than the topmost.

If the root node isn't visible, it is generally a good to make this value true. Otherwise, the tree looks exactly like a list, and users may not know that the "list entries" are actually tree nodes.

See Also:

rootVisible

selectionRedirector

protected transient JTree.TreeSelectionRedirector selectionRedirector

Creates a new event and passed it off the selectionListeners.

cellEditor

protected transient TreeCellEditor cellEditor

Editor for the entries. Default is null (tree is not editable).

editable

protected boolean editable

Is the tree editable? Default is false.

largeModel

protected boolean largeModel

Is this tree a large model? This is a code-optimization setting. A large model can be used when the cell height is the same for all nodes. The UI will then cache very little information and instead continually message the model. Without a large model the UI caches most of the information, resulting in fewer method calls to the model.

This value is only a suggestion to the UI. Not all UIs will take advantage of it. Default value is false.

visibleRowCount

protected int visibleRowCount

Number of rows to make visible at one time. This value is used for the Scrollable interface. It determines the preferred size of the display area.

invokesStopCellEditing

protected boolean invokesStopCellEditing

If true, when editing is to be stopped by way of selection changing, data in tree changing or other means stopCellEditing is invoked, and changes are saved. If false, cancelCellEditing is invoked, and changes are discarded. Default is false.

scrollsOnExpand

protected boolean scrollsOnExpand

If true, when a node is expanded, as many of the descendants are scrolled to be visible.

toggleClickCount

protected int toggleClickCount

Number of mouse clicks before a node is expanded.

treeModelListener

protected transient TreeModelListener treeModelListener

Updates the expandedState.

CELL_RENDERER_PROPERTY

public static final String CELL_RENDERER_PROPERTY

Bound property name for cellRenderer.

TREE_MODEL_PROPERTY

public static final String TREE_MODEL_PROPERTY

Bound property name for treeModel.

ROOT_VISIBLE_PROPERTY

EDITABLE_PROPERTY

public static final String EDITABLE_PROPERTY

Bound property name for editable.

LARGE_MODEL_PROPERTY

public static final String LARGE_MODEL_PROPERTY

Bound property name for largeModel.

SELECTION_MODEL_PROPERTY

public static final String SELECTION_MODEL_PROPERTY

Bound property name for selectionModel.

VISIBLE_ROW_COUNT_PROPERTY

public static final String VISIBLE_ROW_COUNT_PROPERTY

Bound property name for visibleRowCount.

INVOKES_STOP_CELL_EDITING_PROPERTY

public static final String INVOKES_STOP_CELL_EDITING_PROPERTY

Bound property name for messagesStopCellEditing.

SCROLLS_ON_EXPAND_PROPERTY

public static final String SCROLLS_ON_EXPAND_PROPERTY

Bound property name for scrollsOnExpand.
