Editing JPanel of TreeNode in JTree

Question

Hi all,
I am badly stuck with one issue.
I have a Jtree, some of the node of Jtree contains panel, panels also has some components JtextField and JLabels.
Tree is generating properly. Node containing Panel shows all the
components (TextField and Labels).
The only problem is I am not able to edit the Textbox of JPanel.
Pls help me out.

Override the getToolTipLocation(MouseEvent e) method in your JTree to display the tooltip in the desired location(directly over the tree node).
Try this piece of code. I've used it in my application and it works!
public Point getToolTipLocation(MouseEvent event)
Point location = null;
     Point point = event.getPoint();
     TreePath path = getPathForLocation(point.x, point.y);
     if (path != null && isTextVisible(path) == false)
          TreeCellRenderer renderer = getCellRenderer();
          java.awt.Component c =
               renderer.getTreeCellRendererComponent(
               this,path.getLastPathComponent(),false,
               false,false,0,false);
          if (c instanceof JLabel)
               JLabel label = (JLabel)c;
               int icon = label.getIcon() == null
                    ? 0 : label.getIcon().getIconWidth();
               Rectangle cellBounds = getPathBounds(path);
               location = new Point(cellBounds.x icon label.getIconTextGap(), cellBounds.y);
          return location;
private boolean isTextVisible(TreePath path)
     Rectangle cellBounds = this.getPathBounds(path);
     Rectangle visibleRect = this.getVisibleRect();
     if ((visibleRect.width - cellBounds.x) < cellBounds.width)
          return false;
     return true;
