public class JTree
extends JComponent
implements Scrollable, Accessible
A control that displays a set of hierarchical data as an outline. A specific node 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 one displays its children. A collapsed node is one which hides them. A visible node is one which is currently viewable in the display area.

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 knowing either double clicks events or when a user clicks on a node, regardless of whether or not it was selected it is recommended you do the following:

 final JTree tree = ...;
 MouseListener ml = new MouseAdapter() {
     public void mouseClicked(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.

See How to Use Trees in The Java Tutorial for further documentation.

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 Swing1.0 applications. It will not be possible to load serialized Swing1.0 objects with future releases of Swing. The JDK1.2 release of Swing will be the compatibility baseline for the serialized form of Swing objects.

Variables

 o treeModel
 protected transient TreeModel treeModel
The model that defines the tree displayed by this object.

 o selectionModel
 protected transient TreeSelectionModel selectionModel
Models the set of selected nodes in this tree.

 o rootVisible
 protected boolean rootVisible
True if the root node is displayed, false if its children are the highest visible nodes.

 o cellRenderer
 protected transient TreeCellRenderer cellRenderer
The cell used to draw nodes. If null, the UI uses a default cellRenderer.

 o rowHeight
 protected int rowHeight
Height to use for each display row. If this is <= 0 the renderer determines the height for each row.

 o 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:
rootVisible
 o selectionRedirector
 protected JTree. TreeSelectionRedirector selectionRedirector
Creates a new event and passed it off the selectionListeners.

 o cellEditor
 protected transient TreeCellEditor cellEditor
Editor for the entries. Default is null (tree is not editable).

 o editable
 protected boolean editable
Is the tree editable? Default is false.

 o 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.

 o 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.

 o 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.

 o CELL_RENDERER_PROPERTY
