All Implemented Interfaces:
ImageObserver, MenuContainer, Serializable, Accessible, Scrollable
@JavaBean(defaultProperty="UI", description="A component that displays a set of hierarchical data as an outline.") 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);
NOTE: This example obtains both the path and row, but you only need to get the one you're interested in.

To use JTree to display compound nodes (for example, nodes containing both a graphic icon and text), subclass TreeCellRenderer and use setCellRenderer(TreeCellRenderer) to tell the tree to use it. To edit such nodes, subclass TreeCellEditor and use setCellEditor(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: Swing is not thread safe. For more information see Swing's Threading Policy.

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 has been added to the java.beans package. Please see XMLEncoder.

  • Field Details

    • 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:

    • 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.

    • treeModelListener

      protected transient TreeModelListener treeModelListener

    • setScrollsOnExpand

      @BeanProperty(description="Indicates if a node descendant should be scrolled when expanded.") 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.

      This is a bound property.

      Parameters:
      newValue - false to disable scrolling on expansion; true to enable it
      See Also:

    • getScrollsOnExpand

      Sets the number of mouse clicks before a node will expand or close. The default is two.

      This is a bound property.

      Parameters:
      clickCount - the number of mouse clicks to get a node expanded or closed
      Since:
      1.3

    • getToggleClickCount

      public int getToggleClickCount()
      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

      @BeanProperty(description="Indicates whether changes to the selection should make the parent of the path visible.") 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).

      This is a bound property.

      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:

    • setDragEnabled

      @BeanProperty(bound=false, description="determines whether automatic drag handling is enabled") public void setDragEnabled(boolean b)
      Turns on or off automatic drag handling. In order to enable automatic drag handling, this property should be set to true, and the tree's TransferHandler needs to be non-null. The default value of the dragEnabled property is false.

      The job of honoring this property, and recognizing a user drag gesture, lies with the look and feel implementation, and in particular, the tree's TreeUI. When automatic drag handling is enabled, most look and feels (including those that subclass BasicLookAndFeel) begin a drag and drop operation whenever the user presses the mouse button over an item and then moves the mouse a few pixels. Setting this property to true can therefore have a subtle effect on how selections behave.

      If a look and feel is used that ignores this property, you can still begin a drag and drop operation by calling exportAsDrag on the tree's TransferHandler.

      Parameters:
      b - whether or not to enable automatic drag handling
      Throws:
      HeadlessException - if b is true and GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless() returns true
      Since:
      1.4
      See Also:

    • getDragEnabled

      public boolean getDragEnabled()
      Returns whether or not automatic drag handling is enabled.
      Returns:
      the value of the dragEnabled property
      Since:
      1.4
      See Also:

    • setDropMode

      public final void setDropMode(DropMode dropMode)
      Sets 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

      public final DropMode getDropMode()
      Returns the drop mode for this component.
      Returns:
      the drop mode for this component
      Since:
      1.6
      See Also:

    • getDropLocation

      @BeanProperty(bound=false) public final JTree.DropLocation getDropLocation()
      Returns the location that this component should visually indicate as the drop location during a DnD operation over the component, or null if no location is to currently be shown.

      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 has returned and has allowed for the location to be shown.

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

      Returns:
      the drop location
      Since:
      1.6

    • getPathBetweenRows

      protected TreePath[] getPathBetweenRows(int index0, int index1)
      Returns the paths (inclusive) between the specified rows. If the specified indices are within the viewable set of rows, or bound the viewable set of rows, then the indices are constrained by the viewable set of rows. If the specified indices are not within the viewable set of rows, or do not bound the viewable set of rows, then an empty array is returned. For example, if the row count is 10, and this method is invoked with -1, 20, then the specified indices are constrained to the viewable set of rows, and this is treated as if invoked with 0, 9. On the other hand, if this were invoked with -10, -1, then the specified indices do not bound the viewable set of rows, and an empty array is returned.

      The parameters are not order dependent. That is, getPathBetweenRows(x, y) is equivalent to getPathBetweenRows(y, x).

      An empty array is returned if the row count is 0, or the specified indices do not bound the viewable set of rows.

      Parameters:

      Selects the rows in the specified interval (inclusive). If the specified indices are within the viewable set of rows, or bound the viewable set of rows, then the specified rows are constrained by the viewable set of rows. If the specified indices are not within the viewable set of rows, or do not bound the viewable set of rows, then the selection is cleared. For example, if the row count is 10, and this method is invoked with -1, 20, then the specified indices bounds the viewable range, and this is treated as if invoked with 0, 9. On the other hand, if this were invoked with -10, -1, then the specified indices do not bound the viewable set of rows, and the selection is cleared.

      The parameters are not order dependent. That is, setSelectionInterval(x, y) is equivalent to setSelectionInterval(y, x).

      Parameters:
      index0 - the first index in the range to select
      index1 - the last index in the range to select

    • addSelectionInterval

If the specified indices are within the viewable set of rows, or bound the viewable set of rows, then the specified indices are constrained by the viewable set of rows. If the indices are not within the viewable set of rows, or do not bound the viewable set of rows, then the selection is unchanged. For example, if the row count is 10, and this method is invoked with -1, 20, then the specified indices bounds the viewable range, and this is treated as if invoked with 0, 9. On the other hand, if this were invoked with -10, -1, then the specified indices do not bound the viewable set of rows, and the selection is unchanged.

      The parameters are not order dependent. That is, addSelectionInterval(x, y) is equivalent to addSelectionInterval(y, x).

      Parameters:
      index0 - the first index in the range to add to the selection

      Removes the specified rows (inclusive) from the selection. If the specified indices are within the viewable set of rows, or bound the viewable set of rows, then the specified indices are constrained by the viewable set of rows. If the specified indices are not within the viewable set of rows, or do not bound the viewable set of rows, then the selection is unchanged. For example, if the row count is 10, and this method is invoked with -1, 20, then the specified range bounds the viewable range, and this is treated as if invoked with 0, 9. On the other hand, if this were invoked with -10, -1, then the specified range does not bound the viewable set of rows, and the selection is unchanged.

      The parameters are not order dependent. That is, removeSelectionInterval(x, y) is equivalent to removeSelectionInterval(y, x).
