Setting a tree node noneditable

Hallo,
The nodes in my JTree can come out of three classes, I need to set 2 of them noneditable and the third one editable (changing the name/text of the node).
I have no idea how to achieve this, any help please?
Ralf

Try extending the node class to something like:
public class editableNode extends node{
    ...and adding a valiable:
    private boolean canBeEdited;as well as a method:
public void setEditable(boolean b){
    canBeEdited = b;
}Then you can override the functional methods:
public void doStuff(){
    if(canBeEdited) super.doStuff();
}Hope that helps,

On right click, the focus is not set on tree node.

Dear members,
I have a tree and a database block, when i right click on a tree node, the focus is not set on the node.
If I first click on the node and then right click on selected node it populate the database block.
But I want to populate the datablock on right click.
how to implement it?

No body ever encountered this problem?
Any advice would be appreciated.

Setting Dialog, Tree Node and Menu Font in JDeveloper 11.1.1.4/11.1.1.5

Hi,
I'm near sighted and thus dependent on being able to choose larger fonts. For the code editor, this poses no problem. For the widgets in the views surrounding the editor (containing tree nodes) and dialogs (with the Preferences dialog being one example), the font is very small at high screen resolutions (I don't want to resort to a lower resolution since I would like the fonts to appear as detailed as possible).
Is there any way to override the menu, tree node, and dialog font via command line switches and/or property/config files during JDeveloper startup in a platform independent way?
If it can't be done platform independently, what are the necessary steps on Linux (probably for the GTK lib) and Windows?
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Holger

I previously developed under full screen option and my PC resolution was 1600x1200. But when the application was ran on other screens it was displaying with some page contents being cut out. It was due to other machines running on lower resoultion. I will need now redesign the pages to run on user defined lower resolution of 1280x1024. How do I setup Jdeveloper design tab to show for 1280x1024.
Thanks

Setting different tree nodes icons

Hello.
I know this thread was discussed and i read it but it did not helped me.
I need a tree that might look like this:
+hostname
+---database1
--table1
--table2
--table3
+---database2
--table1
--table2
--table3
This is a database tree.
Now my code to set different icons is:
public class DMSTreeCellRenderer extends DefaultTreeCellRenderer {
    private DatabaseInfo databaseInfo;
    private String dbHost;
     /** Creates a new instance of DMSTreeCellRenderer */
    public DMSTreeCellRenderer(String dbHost) {
        this.dbHost = dbHost;
    public Component getTreeCellRendererComponent(JTree tree, Object value, boolean sel, boolean expanded, boolean leaf, int row, boolean hasFocus) {
        ImageIcon rootIcon = new ImageIcon("resources/images/database.png");
        ImageIcon tableIcon = new ImageIcon("resources/images/database_table.png");
        if(tree.getModel().getRoot().toString().equals(dbHost) ) {
            setIcon(new ImageIcon("resources/images/server_database.png"));
            isFirstSetup = false;
        if (rootIcon != null && tableIcon !=null) {
            setClosedIcon(rootIcon);
            setOpenIcon(rootIcon);
            setLeafIcon(tableIcon);
        return super.getTreeCellRendererComponent(tree,value,sel,expanded,leaf,row,hasFocus);
}Anyway it does not work. like it should. The root nod has the same icon like the childs :(

Thank you for your help, i solve my problem like this:
public Component getTreeCellRendererComponent(JTree tree, Object value, boolean sel, boolean expanded, boolean leaf, int row, boolean hasFocus) {
        super.getTreeCellRendererComponent(tree,value,sel,expanded,leaf,row,hasFocus);
        ImageIcon rootIcon = new ImageIcon("resources/images/database.png");
        ImageIcon tableIcon = new ImageIcon("resources/images/database_table.png");
        if(value.toString().equals(dbHost) ){
            setIcon(new ImageIcon("resources/images/server_database.png"));
        }else {
            if (rootIcon != null && tableIcon !=null) {
                if(leaf){
                    setIcon(tableIcon);
                }else {
                    setIcon(rootIcon);
        return this;
    }

Hi All,
i am using below code in style sheet to set the tree node icon,
af|tree::node-icon:nodetype-collapsed
but i don't have any idea how to add getnodetype() method in the node class, (I am using Jdeveloper 11.1.1.2.0). please suggest me the steps to achive it.
Thanks,

i did as you suggested, but i am not getting any image, below is my source

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 :-)

Setting a single tree node row height?

Is there any way within my treecelleditor to set the row height of a single node, the one being edited, to a larger height, then when editing is done, set it back to normal? Or does the whole tree have to have every row height changed? I want to provide a 2 row editor when a user edits the node.

Hello Ken,
Use fire-bug and see what classes APEX is using to toggle tree nodes (to expand and collapse). Generally, the class "open" is used to Open/Expand and class "closed" is used to Collapse tree node.
Now, if you can determine, which list id from which you need to expand the tree, depending on the page you are, then you can open all child nodes under it using following JS.
/* Assuming P1_LIST_ID has the ID of List item from where you want to open all child nodes*/
$("li#"+$("#P1_LIST_ID").val()).find("li").removeClass("closed").addClass("open");You can put the code under "execute when page load" section of your page.

Hari

How to set Tool Tip Text to Tree Node?

Hi,
How to set Tool Tip Text to Tree Node in JTree?
Pls somebody help me to solve it.

bsampeieri,
Been here a long time myself. I don't agree with the one post is enough per se. That is to say, sometimes, it helps to post in several groups so that more eyes may see it. A number of forum posters linger in specific forum topics and may not see the post in another forum.
Now, if in the previous post you/others answered the question and then the OP posted here later, I could see the complaint.
For the OP, the better way to cross-post is to have one "main" post, then have all the other posts refer back to that one (link to it) so that people aren't duplicating the effort to answer your question(s). A simple "I have cross-posted this to get more eyes on it. Please reply to this question at this post <link here>"

Setting annimated image to tree node

Hi all,
I am setting an annimated gif image to tree node like this,
ImageIcon newIcon = ImageIcon.get("test.gif");
setClosedIcon(newIcon);
setOpenIcon(newIcon);
setLeafIcon(newIcon);
but with this the annimation effect doesn't appear in the node.
It is only static image without annimation.
what is wrong here?
how to achieve annimation on tree node?
pls help
-Soni

Thanks for the reply Frank.
I saw the link http://sreevardhanadf.blogspot.in/2012/07/showing-next-row-as-current-row-after.html
However the issue is since I am using custom created tree using POJO tree item (composite object).
calling myTree.getWrappedData() doesn't gives me a handle to JUCtrlHierBinding and subsequent access to JUCtrlHierNodeBinding.
my program gives me data like -
List<MyTreeItem> treeData = (List<MyTreeItem>)treeModel.getWrappedData();
because my tree model is build using -
treeModel = new ChildPropertyTreeModel(items, "children");
where items is List of <MyTreeItem>
Hence I am unable to get a handle using -
List nodeParentList = nodeParent .getKeyPath();
I am programmatically able to invoke the parent node to get the fresh data, only issue is the focus/selection of that node is not happening
Is there a way around?
Thanks
Sachin

How to set the control-on hierarchical tree nodes

Hi,
I have created form in which at the left it has hierarchical tree structure(BOM) and towards the right it brings up the query results for selected node.
Now, I have a button upon clicking which I navigate to the root node by issuing
"Ftree.set_Tree_selection(htree, 1, Ftree.select_on);".
But, it cannot automatically run the ' when-tree-node-selected' trigger '.
any solution???
Its really urgent.I have a customer demo on monday.
Please help me asap.
regards,
Nagadeep.

Hello Nagadeep,
couldn't you just put the code from the trigger into a procedure
and run that after the navigation to the item?
Just a thought,
Bernd
The docs state that:
No programmatic action will cause the When-Tree-Node-Selected trigger to fire. Only end-user action will generate an event.
Probably due to performance reasons.

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

Error "Lead selection not set for context node"

Hi everyone,
I've got a Tree control in WebDynpro ABAP and I've implemented an "expand all" button.
Here's the coding:
METHOD expand_node_rec.
DATA lo_el_child TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element.
DATA lo_node_children TYPE wdr_context_child_map.
DATA wa_lo_node_children LIKE LINE OF lo_node_children.
DATA lo_nd_child TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.
DATA lo_kschl TYPE klschl.
DATA lv_has_children TYPE boolean.
lo_el_child = node->get_element( ).
lo_node_children = node->get_child_nodes( ).
node->get_attribute( EXPORTING name = 'KSCHL' IMPORTING value = lo_kschl ).
node->get_attribute( EXPORTING name = 'HAS_CHILDREN' IMPORTING value = lv_has_children ).
IF lv_has_children = abap_true.
    node->set_attribute( name = 'IS_EXPANDED' value = abap_true ).
ENDIF.
LOOP AT lo_node_children INTO wa_lo_node_children.
    lo_nd_child = wa_lo_node_children-node.
    me->expand_node_rec( node = lo_nd_child ).
ENDLOOP.
ENDMETHOD.
However I'm getting the error above: "Lead selection not set for context node".
Any suggestions?
Edited by: DEVELOPMENT THEMIS on Jul 7, 2011 6:34 PM

hi developement Themis,
I think u didn't diclare "node" as context node. So declare it as a context node before using as a context node..as below
DATA node TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.
or u can use "lo_nd_child " as ur context node in ur program in place of "node"
then I think this error will be removed.
thanks,

Read Selected Tree Node value. Jdeveloper Jdeveloper 11.1.2.1.0 11.1.2.1.0

Version: Jdeveloper 11.1.2.1.0
how to get programmatically tree node value.
i have tried but cann't read value from selected node.
please help me.
here is my application creation steps:
1. New Application
2. Fusion Web Application (ADF) Template
3. Create View Object VOTreeMst
Query:
 Select Department_Name,Department_Id
 From Departments
4. Create View Object VOTreeChd

 VOTreeMst.DepartmentId=VOTreeChd.DepartmentId
 And Add to Application Module
6. Create page page1 in ViewController
 New-->Web Tier-->JSF/Facelets-->Page
 Selected Document Type JSP XML
7. Drag VOTreeMst1 From Data Controls into page1
and select Tree-->ADF Tree
8. ADD java Code into selection Listener
public void nodeSelect(SelectionEvent selectionEvent) {
//original selection listener set by ADF
String adfSelectionListener = "#{bindings.VOTreeMst1.treeModel.makeCurrent}";
//make sure the default selection listener functionality is preserved.
//you don't need to do this for multi select trees as the ADF binding
//only supports single current row selection

But
If i create .jspx page From
Web Tier->Jsp->page Then it is working fine
when i create .jspx page From
Web Tier->JSF\Facelets->page Then it is not working
i need to get value from "Web Tier->JSF\Facelets->page"
is there any help please?

You should try Franks generic selectionListener http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/learnmore/25-generic-tree-selection-listener-169164.pdf. For help on hoe to get the selected tree node data check http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/learnmore/26-get-selected-tree-node-data-169165.pdf

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.

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?

I beleive that this line of code is required:
treeText.addObject(msgInfo);
I have placed it where the action events start the spider, but i keep getting this error:
cannot resolve symbol
symbol : method addObject (java.lang.String)
location: class javax.swing.JTextArea
treeText.addObject(msgInfo);
Also the jtree is not showing the window that I want it to and I am not too sure why. could you have a look to see why? i think it needs a fresh pair of eyes.
Many thanks
MrV
