public class JTree
extends JComponent
implements Scrollable, Accessible

A control that displays a set of hierarchical data as an outline. You can find task-oriented documentation and examples of using trees in How to Use Trees , a section in The Java Tutorial.

A specific node in a tree 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 a non-leaf node (as identified by TreeModel.isLeaf(node) returning false) that will displays its children when all its ancestors are expanded . A collapsed node is one which hides them. A hidden node is one which is under a collapsed ancestor. All of a viewable nodes parents are expanded, but may or may not be displayed. A displayed node is both viewable and in the display area, where it can be seen.

The following JTree methods use "visible" to mean "displayed":

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

The next group of 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 detecting either double-click events or when a user clicks on a node, regardless of whether or not it was selected, we recommend you do the following:

 final JTree tree = ...;

 MouseListener ml = new MouseAdapter() {
     public void mousePressed(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);
 

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

Like all JComponent classes, you can use InputMap and ActionMap to associate an Action object with a KeyStroke and execute the action under specified conditions.

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. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeans ^TM has been added to the java.beans package. Please see XMLEncoder .

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.

Returns:

the indicator that tells what happens when editing is interrupted

See Also:

setInvokesStopCellEditing(boolean)

setScrollsOnExpand

public void setScrollsOnExpand(boolean newValue)

Sets the scrollsOnExpand property, which determines whether the tree might scroll to show previously hidden children. If this property is true (the default), when a node expands the tree can use scrolling to make the maximum possible number of the node's descendants visible. In some look and feels, trees might not need to scroll when expanded; those look and feels will ignore this property.

Parameters:

newValue - false to disable scrolling on expansion; true to enable it

See Also:

getScrollsOnExpand()

getScrollsOnExpand

public boolean getScrollsOnExpand()

Returns the value of the scrollsOnExpand property.

Returns:

Returns the number of mouse clicks needed to expand or close a node.

Returns:

number of mouse clicks before node is expanded

Since:

1.3

setExpandsSelectedPaths

public void setExpandsSelectedPaths(boolean newValue)

Configures the expandsSelectedPaths property. If true, any time the selection is changed, either via the TreeSelectionModel, or the cover methods provided by JTree, the TreePaths parents will be expanded to make them visible (visible meaning the parent path is expanded, not necessarily in the visible rectangle of the JTree). If false, when the selection changes the nodes parent is not made visible (all its parents expanded). This is useful if you wish to have your selection model maintain paths that are not always visible (all parents expanded).

Parameters:

newValue - the new value for expandsSelectedPaths

Since:

1.3

getExpandsSelectedPaths

public boolean getExpandsSelectedPaths()

Returns the expandsSelectedPaths property.

Returns:

true if selection changes result in the parent path being expanded

Since:

1.3

See Also:

setExpandsSelectedPaths(boolean)

setDragEnabled

public void setDragEnabled(boolean b)

Sets the dragEnabled property, which must be true to enable automatic drag handling (the first part of drag and drop) on this component. The transferHandler property needs to be set to a non-null value for the drag to do anything. The default value of the dragEnabled property is false.

When automatic drag handling is enabled, most look and feels begin a drag-and-drop operation whenever the user presses the mouse button over an item a selection and then moves the mouse a few pixels. Setting this property to true can therefore have a subtle effect on how selections behave.

Some look and feels might not support automatic drag and drop; they will ignore this property. You can work around such look and feels by modifying the component to directly call the exportAsDrag method of a TransferHandler.

Parameters:

b - the value to set the dragEnabled property to

Throws:

HeadlessException - if b is true and GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless() returns true

Since:

1.4

See Also:

GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless() , getDragEnabled() , JComponent.setTransferHandler(javax.swing.TransferHandler) , TransferHandler

getDragEnabled

public boolean getDragEnabled()

Gets the value of the dragEnabled property.

Returns:

the value of the dragEnabled property

Since:

1.4

See Also:

setDragEnabled(boolean)

setDropMode

 
public final void setDropMode ( DropMode dropMode) 

Set the drop mode for this component. For backward compatibility, the default for this property is DropMode.USE_SELECTION. Usage of one of the other modes is recommended, however, for an improved user experience. DropMode.ON, for instance, offers similar behavior of showing items as selected, but does so without affecting the actual selection in the tree.

JTree supports the following drop modes:

• DropMode.USE_SELECTION
• DropMode.ON
• DropMode.INSERT
• DropMode.ON_OR_INSERT

The drop mode is only meaningful if this component has a TransferHandler that accepts drops.

Parameters:

dropMode - the drop mode to use

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the drop mode is unsupported or null

Since:

1.6

See Also:

getDropMode() , getDropLocation() , JComponent.setTransferHandler(javax.swing.TransferHandler) , TransferHandler

getDropMode

 
public final DropModegetDropMode () 

Returns the drop mode for this component.

Returns:

the drop mode for this component

Since:

1.6

See Also:

setDropMode(javax.swing.DropMode)

getDropLocation

 
public final JTree.DropLocationgetDropLocation () 

Returns the location that this component should visually indicate as the drop location during a DnD operation over the component. This will be null if there is no DnD operation over the component or if the component's TransferHandler has indicated that it cannot accept the current transfer (and has not specified that the drop location be indicated anyway).

This method is not meant for querying the drop location from a TransferHandler as the drop location is only set after the TransferHandler's canImport or shouldIndicateAnyway methods have returned true.

When this property changes, a property change event with name "dropLocation" is fired by the component.

Returns:

the drop location

Since:

1.6

See Also:

setDropMode(javax.swing.DropMode) , TransferHandler.TransferInfo , TransferHandler.canImport(TransferHandler.TransferInfo) , TransferHandler#shouldIndicateAnyway(TransferHandler.TransferInfo)

isPathEditable

public boolean isPathEditable(TreePath path)

Returns isEditable. This is invoked from the UI before editing begins to insure that the given path can be edited. This is provided as an entry point for subclassers to add filtered editing without having to resort to creating a new editor.

Returns:

true if every parent node and the node itself is editable

See Also:

isEditable()

getToolTipText

public String getToolTipText(MouseEvent event)

Overrides JComponent's getToolTipText method in order to allow renderer's tips to be used if it has text set.

NOTE: For JTree to properly display tooltips of its renderers, JTree must be a registered component with the ToolTipManager. This can be done by invoking ToolTipManager.sharedInstance().registerComponent(tree). This is not done automatically!

Overrides:

getToolTipText in class JComponent

Parameters:

event - the MouseEvent that initiated the ToolTip display

Returns:

a string containing the tooltip or null if event is null

convertValueToText

public String convertValueToText(Object value,
