Hide leaf nodes from jtree.

Hi,
How can I hide all nodes that are leafs on a tree? Basically, I'm creating a splitpane where on the left side I have a jtree where when a user clicks on a node on that jtree the leaf nodes will appear on the right split pane as icons.
V

Thanks for the reply...
I wanted to include the leaf nodes in the tree model so that I won't need to work with two data structures--one with the leaf nodes, and another without the leaf nodes.
So far, I think I resolved the problem. I created my own treemodel class where I pass a defaulttreemodel into it and created a modified getChildCount which will go into the defaulttreemodel and filter out the leaf nodes.
It all seems to work pretty well.
My problem now... How do I remove the stupid node icons? :)
I just want the dashed lines to appear and nothing more....
Thanks again...

Hiding leaf node from jtree ?

Hi,
How can I hide all nodes that are leafs on a tree?
Basically, I'm creating a splitpane where on the left side I have a jtree where when a user clicks on a node ( as a folder ) on that jtree the leaf nodes ( all the children nodes of the selected node ) will appear on the right split pane as icons.
thanks in advance!

Define your own renderer class eg:
class NavTreeCellRenderer extends DefaultTreeCellRenderer {
public Component getTreeCellRendererComponent(JTree tree, Object value,
boolean sel,
boolean expanded,
boolean leaf,
int row,
boolean hasFocus)
if(leaf == true){
this.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(0, 0));
super.getTreeCellRendererComponent(tree, dto.getNodeLabel(), sel, expanded, true, row, hasFocus);
return this;
Then set this rederer to ur tree
NavTreeCellRenderer navTCR = new NavTreeCellRenderer();
jTree.setCellRenderer(navTCR);
And then ENJOY

How to Remove a Node from JTree?

I want to remove a node from a JTree but the node may or maynot be visible.
My method takes a String which is the name of the node.
The nodes im using are DefaultMutableTreeNode
This is my code so far but it doesnt work.
public void removePerson(String pName)
          TreePath node = tree.getNextMatch(pName,0,Position.Bias.Forward);
          tree.expandPath(node);
          tree.removeSelectionPath(node);
}Any Suggestions or ways which i could achive this?
Thank you,

I don't think removeSelectionPath is what you want to use.
These should help:

How can I remove child node from JTree???

Hi,
I would like to remove all the child node of my jtree. For instance I would like to remove the c, d, and e nodes. It's possible to remove all the child node or to remove by her name ("c", "d", and "e"). If yes what is the method that it permit to do.

I use the model : DefaultMutableTreeNode
Thanks

There are a couple of ways it can be done. If your tree uses DefaultTreeModel as its TreeModel, you can use removeNodeFromParent(). This will remove the node from its parent and effectively remove its children, too. All nodes removed will be garbage-collected if there are no other references to them.
If your tree model is not the default tree model, but still uses MutableTreeNode, you can use either remove() or removeFromParent() on the node itself, depending on whether you want to remove the node itself or one of its children.
On the other hand, your tree may use a model that simply "mirrors" another data structure, in which case you would have to remove the node from the other data structure and have it reflected in the model.

Dynamiclly remove node from JTree

hi all,
I want to remove nodes from a tree dynamically. I used "treeModel.removeNodeFromParent(node);". The node was removed from that treeModel, but the tree never updated. I tried to use tree.repaint() method. It doesn't work. Any suggestion?
thanks a lot in advance.

try with TreeModel.reload(); This will surely work

Selectable JTable as leaf node in JTree

I've created a TreeCellRenderer that renders a JTable for nodes of type TableNode. The actual rendering seems to work fine, but the problem is that I am unable to select the rows in the JTable. I tried using a JTable-based TreeCellEditor, but that wasn't what I needed either. I don't need to edit the data, but only select an individual row so I can get its data to display in another panel on the screen.
Any ideas?
private class TableTreeCellRenderer extends DefaultTreeCellRenderer {
   private JTable table = new JTable();
   private DefaultTableModel model = (DefaultTableModel) table.getModel();
   public Component getTreeCellRendererComponent(JTree tree,
                                        Object value,
                                        boolean selected,
                                        boolean expanded,
                                        boolean leaf,
                                        int row,
                                        boolean hasFocus) {
     if (value instanceof TableNode) {
           TableNode node = (TableNode) value;
        model.setDataVector(node.getData(), node.getHeaders());
        JScrollPane js = new JScrollPane(table);
        js.setPreferredSize(getTableSize(table));
        return js;
     return super.getTreeCellRendererComponent(tree,
                                                  value,
                                      selected,
                                      expanded,
                                      leaf,
                                      row,
                                      hasFocus);
   private Dimension getTableSize(JTable table) {
      return null;
}

A renderer isn't a component which is added to a parent (tree in this case). It is only used for display purposes. You might try a [url http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/treetable1/index.html]TreeTable.

Delete a node from JTree using removeSelectionPath question

hi guys,
how do i delete a node using removeSelectionPath?
jtree.removeSelectionPath(treePath);
it dont seem to work
cheers

Each of that type of learning interactions has a minimum and a maximum number of buttons (nodes). For the circle matrix I found a minimum of 5 (central + one ring). When you select one of the buttons you should see a minus sign that allows to delete a button.

Populate a canvas when a tree-leaf node is clicked

I'm trying to populate a canvas or a list container with
images when a tree-leaf node is clicked. I got the tree control
working alright so far (populated via an external XML) but I'm
having a hard time figuring out how to populate the adjacent
container when a leaf node from a tree is clicked by a user. I know
I'm supposed to code this in the 'change' event but am having a
difficult time trying to figure out how to do this. I looked at the
source code in some of the sample apps but I couldn't find anything
that resemble what I'm trying to do.
Since each leaf node would be unique, each one of them would
trigger an external load of images (via http service) ... and so
the url would be unique as well for each.
'Appreciate the help from anyone who could help.
Thanks.

Thanks for the quick response Tracy ...
Actually, I don't have mage load part coded yet :) ... I do
have a somewhat general idea on how it should be coded though (i
think, hehe). I'm thinking the selected item in the leaf node would
have the data for the 'url' or 'folder location' of the images that
would have to be retrieved and displayed in the canvas. I'm just
not sure how to go about diplaying them in the canvas. Do I have to
load them in some sort of array first and then datasourced it for
my canvas? Not really sure how to go about doing it ... 'am totally
newbie with Flex and just learning it by going through the online
help and looking at the codes on some of the sample apps.
Thanks again.

How to hide a tree node from the GUI but still keep it in the tree model?

Hi, All
I used a JTree in my project in which I have a DefaultTreeModel to store all the tree structure and a JTree show it on the screen. But for some reason, I want to hide some of the nodes from the user, but I don't want to remove them from the tree model because later on I still need to use them.
I searched on the web, some people suggested method to hide the root node, but that's not appliable to my project because I want to hide some non-root nodes; Some people also suggested to collapse the parent node when there are child to hide, it is not appliable to me either, because there still some other childnodes (sibling of the node to hide) I want to show.
How can I hide some of the tree node from the user? Thanks for any information.
Linda

Here's an example using a derivation of DefaultTreeModel that shows (or does not show) two types of Sneech (appologies to the good Dr Zeus) by overiding two methods on the model.
Now, there are many things wrong with this example (using instanceof, for example), but it's pretty tight and shows one way of doing what you want.
Note: to make it useful, you''d have to change the implementation of setShowStarBelliedSneeches() to do something more sophisticated than simply firing a structure change event on the root node. You'd want to find all the star bellied sneech nodes and call fireTreeNodesRemoved(). That way the tree would stay expanded rather than collapse as it does now.

Hiding a intermediate node in a Jtree without hiding leaf nodes

Hi who can help me out of this problem. What my prob is dat i m interrested in hiding few intermediate nodes in JTree without hiding their children.
Thanks
Rakesh

but how do you then expand to see the children? once the node is hidden, can you by any means expand/collapse it to view/hide the child leaves?

Deleting Nodes from XML Tree (JTree)

I have created a XML Tree(extended from JTree) using XNodes ( extended from DefaultMutableTreeNode)
After some insertions, i need to delete certain nodes from the XML Tree.. but after deletion, XNode will be null.
subroutine is as follows...
appreciates any advice
Thanx
private XNode RemoveExtraNode( XNode xNode ){
int child;
String nodeType;
XNode childNode=null;
if ( (child=xNode.getChildCount() ) > 0){
for(int i=0;i<child;i++){
childNode=(XNode)xNode.getChildAt(i);
     nodeType = childNode.getType();
     if(nodeType.equals("DTD") )
     childNode.removeFromParent();
}//end for (int i=1;i<child;i++)
}//endif((child=xNode.getChildCount())!=0)
return xNode;
}//RemoveExtraNode

Hi IKEDA
Thanx for the reply.
I have tried xNode.remove(childNode) b4 and it still return a null JTree.
Anyway fyi i discover i can delete last child of xNode and return the correct java tree. therefore to delete a node of my choice i simply insert its next sibling nodes in its place and delete that particular node when it becomes the last child.

Identifying leaf node in a JTree

I have a single selection JTree which was constructed using DefaultTreeModel.
asksAllowsChildren is set to 'true' in the tree model.
The nodes in the model are constructed using DefaultMutableTreeNode and each
node is marked if it allows children or not.
How can I find if a selection is a leaf node or not.
Thanks.

Answering my own post, solution is:
tree.getModel().isLeaf(tree.getSelectionPath().getLastPathComponent())
where tree is the JTree object.

How to remove all nodes (except root node)from a Jtree?

How to remove all nodes (except the root node)from a Jtree?

Either:
- remove all children of root.
- save the root node, throws away the tree model, build a new TreeModel with the saved root, set the new TreeModel in the JTree.
- implement your own TreeModel, which would support an emptyExceptRoot() method.
IMHO, using the DefautlTreeModel and DefaultMutableTreeNode does lead to all sorts of small problems when the app evolves, and implementing your own TreeNode and TreeModel is not that hard and much more efficient.
