Jtree: "check if tree node is a folder"  not wrkin

Hi, I have a JTree and If a folder does not has any file, it displays as file not folder. Is there any way to fix it. I want to represent an empty folder as folder not file. here is the code. Thanks for help.
if(!f.isDirectory()) {
     System.out.println("FILE - " + f.getName());
     DefaultMutableTreeNode child = new DefaultMutableTreeNode(f.getName());
     node.add(child);
     else {
     DefaultMutableTreeNode child = new DefaultMutableTreeNode(f.getName());
          node.add(child);
     File fList[] = f.listFiles();
     for(int i = 0; i < fList.length; i++)
     getList(child, fList);

Sorry for not formatting the code:
here is the code again:
public void getDirectories()
     getList(root, new File("c:/FIST/Projects/"));
       KeyStroke ks = KeyStroke.getKeyStroke("ctrl A");
       tree.getInputMap().put(ks, "none");
public void getList(DefaultMutableTreeNode node, File f)
     if(!f.isDirectory())
DefaultMutableTreeNode child = new DefaultMutableTreeNode(f.getName());
            int i=child.getLevel();
            if(i==0)
                node.add(child);
     else {
              DefaultMutableTreeNode child = new DefaultMutableTreeNode(f.getName());
             node.add(child);
              File fList[] = f.listFiles();
              for(int i = 0; i  < fList.length; i++)
                  getList(child, fList);

  • JTree and selected tree node

    I am allowing the user to search for a node in a JTree. I can find the node and progamatically expand and select the node. What I would like to do next is find the x,y coordinates of this selected node so I can use Robot to move the mouse to this node. I have hover help which is chock full of information in HTML describing this node, however, the user now is required to move the cursor to this selected node to see the hover help.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Displaying the entire text of a tree node when the tree isn�t wide enough

    Hi,
    I have a JTree displayed in a JScrollPane, so there is a chance that some of the tree data may be hidden if the tree's width is insufficient, so when the user moves the cursor over a tree node whose text is not completely visible (cut off by the right edge of the scroll pane and/or window), a tooltip is displayed to show the entire node text. So far so good!
    If the user double click a node in the tree a new window is supposed to be opened. This works fine if the tooltip hasn�t been displayed jet, but if it has then the user has to click 3 times to open the window.
    The first time to remove the tooltip and the next 2 opens the window.
    How can I awoid this?
    Thanks!!!!
    :-)Lisa

    Any ideas, please?

  • Help with building a JTree using tree node and node renderers

    Hi,
    I am having a few problems with JTree's. basically I want to build JTree from a web spider. The webspide searches a website checking links and stores the current url that is being processed as a string in the variable msg. I wan to use this variable to build a JTree in a new class and then add it to my GUI. I have created a tree node class and a renderer node class, these classes are built fine. can someone point me in the direction for actually using these to build my tree in a seperate class and then displaying it in a GUI class?

  • How to cut, copy and paste a tree node in JTree?????

    Hi, Java GUI guru. Thank you for your help in advance.
    I am working on a File Explorer project with JTree. There are cut, copy and paste item menus in my menu bar. I need three EventAction methods or classes to implements the three tasks. I tried to use Clipboard to copy and paste tree node. But I can not copy any tree node from my tree.
    Are there any body has sample source code about cut, copy, and paste for tree? If possible, would you mind send me your sample source code to [email protected]
    I would appreciate you very very much for your help!!!!

    Hi, Paul Clapham:
    Thank you for your quick answer.
    I store the node in a DefaultMutableTreeNode variable, and assign it to another DefaultMutableTreeNode variable. I set up two classes (CopyNode and PasteNode). Here they are as follows:
    //CopyNode class
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import java.io.*;
    import java.util.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    import javax.swing.tree.*;
    import javax.swing.event.*;
    public class CopyNode implements ActionListener{
    private TreeList jtree;
    String treeNodeName;
    TreePath currentSelection;
    DefaultMutableTreeNode currentNode;
    public CopyNode(TreeList t){
    jtree = t;
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
    currentSelection = jtree.tree.getSelectionPath();
    if(currentSelection != null){
    currentNode = (DefaultMutableTreeNode)(currentSelection.getLastPathComponent());
    treeNodeName = currentNode.toString();
    //PasteNode class
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import java.io.*;
    import java.util.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    import javax.swing.tree.*;
    import javax.swing.event.*;
    public class PasteNode extends DefaultMutableTreeNode{
    private TreeList jtree;
    CopyNode copyNode;
    public PasteNode(TreeList t){
    jtree = t;
    copyNode = new CopyNode(t);
    public DefaultMutableTreeNode addObject(Object child){
    DefaultMutableTreeNode parentNode = null;
    TreePath parentPath = jtree.tree.getSelectionPath();
    if(parentPath == null){
    parentNode = jtree.root;
    else{
    parentNode = (DefaultMutableTreeNode)parentPath.getLastPathComponent();
    return addObject(parentNode, child, true);
    public DefaultMutableTreeNode addObject(DefaultMutableTreeNode parent, Object child, boolean shouldBeVisible){
    DefaultMutableTreeNode childNode = copyNode.currentNode;
    if(parent == null){
    parent = jtree.root;
    jtree.treemodel.insertNodeInto(childNode, parent, parent.getChildCount());
    if(shouldBeVisible){
    jtree.tree.scrollPathToVisible(new TreePath(childNode.getPath()));
    return childNode;
    I used these two classes objects in "actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)" methods in my tree:
    //invoke copyNode
    copyItem = new JMenuItem("Copy");
    copyItem.addActionListener(copyNode);
    //invoke pasteNode
    pasteItem = new JMenuItem("Paste");
    pasteItem.addActionListener(
    new ActionListener(){
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
    pasteName.addObject(copyName.treeNodeName);
    When I run the drive code, making a copy some node from my tree list, I got bunch of error messages.
    Can you figour out what is wrong in my two classes? If you have sample code, would you mind mail me for reference.
    Thank you very much in advance.

  • JTree - Fetch URL from a tree node.

    Now I have created one JTree and one JEditorPane.
    Basically I am creating a help file. (a chm file in windows).
    So I need to handle mouse click event on each node on JTree.
    I have used such format to add a hyperlink.
    sample code:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    javax.swing.tree.DefaultMutableTreeNode treeNode1 = new javax.swing.tree.DefaultMutableTreeNode("JTree");
    javax.swing.tree.DefaultMutableTreeNode treeNode2 = new javax.swing.tree.DefaultMutableTreeNode("colors");
    javax.swing.tree.DefaultMutableTreeNode treeNode3 = new javax.swing.tree.DefaultMutableTreeNode("blue");
    treeNode2.add(treeNode3);
    treeNode3 = new javax.swing.tree.DefaultMutableTreeNode("violet");
    treeNode2.add(treeNode3);
    treeNode3 = new javax.swing.tree.DefaultMutableTreeNode("red");
    treeNode2.add(treeNode3);
    treeNode3 = new javax.swing.tree.DefaultMutableTreeNode("yellow");
    treeNode2.add(treeNode3);
    treeNode1.add(treeNode2);
    treeNode2 = new javax.swing.tree.DefaultMutableTreeNode("s");
    treeNode3 = new javax.swing.tree.DefaultMutableTreeNode("<html><a href='C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1.6\\README.html'>Read Me</a></html>");
    treeNode2.add(treeNode3);
    jTree1.setModel(new javax.swing.tree.DefaultTreeModel(treeNode1));
    jTree1.addMouseListener(new java.awt.event.MouseAdapter() {
    public void mousePressed(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) {
    TreeListener(evt);
    private void TreeListener(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) {                                    
    int selRow= jTree1.getRowForLocation(evt.getX(), evt.getY());
    TreePath tp = jTree1.getPathForLocation(evt.getX(), evt.getY());
    if(selRow!=-1) {
    if(evt.getClickCount()==1) {              
    jTree1.setSelectionPath(tp);
    Now there is a hyperlink created for that node "Read Me".
    My Question is ..........
    How do I fetch this stored URL in each node for setting it to my JEditorPane....???

    ok, it seems to be working now. I just return the JInternalFrame in the getTreeCellRendererComponent() method.

  • How to set the default tree node in JTree?

    I want to set a default tree node in JTree when start the program,
    what is the method or the function to call?
    Thanks~

    If you by "default" mean "selected", then you can use one of the setSelectionXXX methods in the JTree API.
    If you by "default" mean something else, never mind this post :-)

  • Post Back Tree view when tree node check changed

    Hi everyone, 
    I have a tree view, both child and parent have check box. I want to check all the child on the parent selection. 
    I try "SelectedNodeChanged" but the page doesn't post back to fire my function.
    I know I can use javascript to post back the page, but is there any other way to post back my page without javascript???  
    Thnaks in advance.

    Assuming this is a WinForm application (it looks like it may not be), the following works pretty well:
    Option Strict On
    Option Explicit On
    Public Class Form1
    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
    ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
    Handles MyBase.Load
    With TreeView1
    .CheckBoxes = True
    .ShowLines = True
    .ShowPlusMinus = True
    .ShowRootLines = True
    .ExpandAll()
    End With
    End Sub
    ' Updates all child tree nodes recursively.
    Private Sub CheckAllChildNodes(ByVal treeNode As TreeNode, ByVal nodeChecked As Boolean)
    Dim node As TreeNode
    For Each node In treeNode.Nodes
    node.Checked = nodeChecked
    If node.Nodes.Count > 0 Then
    ' If the current node has child nodes, call the CheckAllChildsNodes method recursively.
    Me.CheckAllChildNodes(node, nodeChecked)
    End If
    Next node
    End Sub
    ' NOTE This code can be added to the BeforeCheck event handler instead of the AfterCheck event.
    ' After a tree node's Checked property is changed, all its child nodes are updated to the same value.
    Private Sub node_AfterCheck(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As TreeViewEventArgs) Handles TreeView1.AfterCheck
    ' The code only executes if the user caused the checked state to change.
    If e.Action <> TreeViewAction.Unknown Then
    If e.Node.Nodes.Count > 0 Then
    ' Calls the CheckAllChildNodes method, passing in the current
    ' Checked value of the TreeNode whose checked state changed.
    Me.CheckAllChildNodes(e.Node, e.Node.Checked)
    End If
    End If
    End Sub
    End Class
    The reference for that is this MSDN document.
    If you're looking for a true tri-state operation though, honestly you might want to look at some third-party controls.
    I hope that helps. :)

  • Folder icon display at richfaces tree node

    Hello All,
    I would like to use richfaces tree structure.
    But the issue with that is the folder icon display at each tree node.
    For some reason i don't want the folder icon at the tree node.
    Is there anyway to get rid of that?
    I tried to change the image (iconFolder.gif) to some 1X1 pixel image in the richfaces jar file.
    But when i added the new jar with new image for icon, that image is not loading.
    I'm using Jboss4.2 as my application server.
    Please help me to remove the folder display at tree node.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Elizabath

    Hi,
    I could see the icon attribute to specify the folder icon at the node. I placed a 1x1 pixel image as the iconfolder image. But that results in a blank pixel at the node. I wish to get rid of that.
    Also i wanted to change the navigation images too. i would like to have the + and - sign images instead of arrows.
    Any suggestions?

  • JTree - Sometimes tree node is not selected, while clicking it using mouse

    Hi,
    I'm sure that it is a very rare scenario.But ,sometimes i couldnt select a tree node on mouse click.It happens very rarely and simulating the behaviour is not possible.If anyone have gone thru this,plz repond.
    Thanks,

    did you try debug with a breakPoint on mouseListener->mouseClick event, and see if the selectionModel changes?

  • Checking if user has selected or deselected a tree node

    Hello,
    In the event handler of the On Action event of a tree node, I need to decide whether the user has selected the element or deselected it.
    I thought to use the following:
    data:  lo_node type ref to if_wd_context_node,
             lo_element type ref to if_wd_context_element,
             l_element_selected type abap_bool.
    first I tried
    * need to find out if this element was selected or deselected!
      l_element_selected = context_element->is_selected( ).
    but it didn't work - so I tried
    lo_node = context_element->get_node( ).
      lo_element = lo_node->get_lead_selection( ).
      if lo_element = context_element.
        l_element_selected = abap_true.
      else.
        l_element_selected = abap_false.
      endif.
    This did work.
    I'm slightly confused as to why the two did not give the same result?
    I can see in the implementation why - gotta love being able to see how the engine works - but why is the node selection table not set? For future reference, is there some flow that has to happen before the selection gets set but after the lead selection is made? Or is this just an error in the handling of the tree node element?
    Cheers,
    Chris

    One would wonder why there is no is_Lead_Selected method. Having just the is _ Multi_  Selected method is quite confusing. Especially when the method description is "True, if element is selected in the node". One would assume that this would include lead selection.
    Then again - when you consider the mismatch between methods that return values and methods that export values, this lack of a is_Lead_Selected method would be low down on my list of things to fix to make WDA more consistent.
    Having Get_Static_Attributes return the data rather than export it would be much higher on my list - ( get_static_attributes_ref does actually return the reference to the data - talk about inconsistent! )

  • Useful Code of the Day:  Hideable Tree Nodes

    Someone posted about how they could selectively hide tree nodes, and I already had this AbstractTreeModel class (which does some things DefaultTreeModel does and some it doesn't) and a concrete subclass for TreeNode objects, so I was thinking how one could do hideable nodes. So I came up with this solution.
    There's 4 classes here:
    - AbstractTreeModel is the base for the concrete TreeNodeTreeModel
    - TreeNodeTreeModel extends AbstractTreeModel to support TreeNodes (DefautlMutableTreeNode, etc.)
    - HideableMutableTreeNode which is a DefautlMutableTreeNode subclass which has a visible field (with is/set methods, of course).
    - HideableTreeModel is the hideable model which is a subclass of TreeNodeTreeModel.
    A HideableMutableTreeNode can be set invisible directly, but the tree still needs to be notified to update. So it's best to use the methods in HideableTreeModel which set a node's visibility which notify the tree of changes accordingly. Methods are also provided to check a full path's visibility or ensure a node including all parent nodes are visible.
    A HideableTreeModel can take any TreeNode class, it doesn't have to be all HideableMutableTreeNodes, but only HideableMutableTreeNodes can be made invisible, of course. Any other TreeNode type would just be considered visible.
    Hiding nodes works basically by making the tree think there's less nodes then there are. And to do this, the node counts and child index search just works by looping thru the parent's children. This has potential perfomance drawbacks of course, since one has to loop thru the node's children to get nodes every time. This could be alleviated by not supporting non-hideable nodes changing the internal maintenance of HideableMutableTreeNode contents. But I'll leave that to whoever really needs it. It shouldn't be a problem if there are are a relatively small set of child nodes in any given parent.
    Also, note that the root node in the model cannot be made invisible, cuz it'd be redundant since JTree can be set to hide the root node.

    Hey
    I'm not trying to show anyone up here, but having just built a tree model for displaying an XML document in a tree, I thought this seemed like a neat exercise.
    I implemented this very differently from the @OP. I only have one class, HiddenNodeTreeModel. All the hidden node data is stored in the model itself in my class. The advantage of what I've created is it will work with any TreeModel. The disadvantage is that I think it's not going to be very scalable - the additional computing to get the number of child nodes and to adjust indexes is heavy. So if you need a scalable solution definitely don't use this.
    Anyway here you go

  • 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.

  • Add/Edit/Delete Tree Nodes using CL_GUI_ALV_TREE

    Hi All,
    I am looking for an example of program with CL_GUI_ALV_TREE that have a functionality of add a tree node, edit a tree node, and delete a tree node.
    I have already looked the BCALV_TREE* demo program but could not able to find a program to add/edit/delete node tree elements.
    Any info on this.
    Thanks
    aRs

    Hello aRs
    Here is a sample report showing how to delete nodes in an ALV tree. The report was copied from BCALV_TREE_01. Search for added code:
    *$ADDED: begin
    *$ADDED: end[/code]
    When you display the tree expand the first folder completely. When entering 'DELETE' into the command field directly the first flight date node will be deleted.
    REPORT ZUS_SDN_BCALV_TREE_01_DELNODE.
    based on: REPORT  bcalv_tree_01.
    Purpose:
    ~~~~~~~~
    This report shows the essential steps to build up a hierarchy
    using an ALV Tree Control (class CL_GUI_ALV_TREE).
    Note that it is not possible to build up this hierarchy
    using a simple ALV Tree Control (class CL_GUI_ALV_TREE_SIMPLE).
    To check program behavior
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Start this report. The hierarchy tree consists of nodes for each
    month on top level (this level can not be build by a simple ALV Tree
    because there is no field for months in our output table SFLIGHT.
    Thus, you can not define this hierarchy by sorting).
    Nor initial calculations neither a special layout has been applied
    (the lines on the right do not show anything).
    Note also that this example does not build up and change the
    fieldcatalog of the output table. For this reason, all fields
    of the output table are shown in the columns although the fields
    CARRID and FLDATE are already placed in the tree on the left.
    (Of course, this is not a good style. See BCALV_TREE_02 on how to
    hide columns).
    Essential steps (Search for '§')

    §2. Create Hierarchy-header
    The simple ALV Tree uses the text of the fields which were used

    (even after this method call). You can change data of your table
    by calling methods of CL_GUI_ALV_TREE.
    Furthermore, the output table 'gt_outtab' must be global and can
