Field Detail
root
protected TreeNode root
Root of the tree.
listenerList
protected EventListenerList listenerList
Listeners.
asksAllowsChildren
protected boolean asksAllowsChildren
Determines how the isLeaf
method figures out if a node is a leaf node. If true, a node is a leaf node if it does not allow children. (If it allows children, it is not a leaf node, even if no children are present.) That lets you distinguish between folder nodes and file nodes in a file system, for example.
If this value is false, then any node which has no children is a leaf node, and any node may acquire children.
Constructor Detail
DefaultTreeModel
@ConstructorProperties("root") public DefaultTreeModel(TreeNode root)
Creates a tree in which any node can have children.
- Parameters:
-
root
- a TreeNode object that is the root of the tree - See Also:
DefaultTreeModel(TreeNode, boolean)

public DefaultTreeModel(TreeNode root, boolean asksAllowsChildren)
Creates a tree specifying whether any node can have children, or whether only certain nodes can have children.
- Parameters:
-
root
- a TreeNode object that is the root of the tree -
asksAllowsChildren

asksAllowsChildren
Method Detail
setAsksAllowsChildren
public void setAsksAllowsChildren(boolean newValue)
Sets whether or not to test leafness by asking getAllowsChildren() or isLeaf() to the TreeNodes. If newvalue is true, getAllowsChildren() is messaged, otherwise isLeaf() is messaged.
- Parameters:
-
newValue
- if true, getAllowsChildren() is messaged, otherwise isLeaf() is messaged
asksAllowsChildren
public boolean asksAllowsChildren()
Tells how leaf nodes are determined.
- Returns:
- true if only nodes which do not allow children are leaf nodes, false if nodes which have no children (even if allowed) are leaf nodes
- See Also:
asksAllowsChildren
setRoot
public void setRoot(TreeNode root)
Sets the root to root
. A null root
implies the tree is to display nothing, and is legal.
- Parameters:
-
root
- new value of tree root
getRoot
public Object getRoot()
Returns the root of the tree. Returns null only if the tree has no nodes.
getIndexOfChild
public int getIndexOfChild(Object parent, Object child)
Returns the index of child in parent. If either the parent or child is null
, returns -1.
- Specified by:
-
getIndexOfChild
in interfaceTreeModel
- Parameters:
-
parent
- a note in the tree, obtained from this data source -
child
- the node we are interested in - Returns:
- the index of the child in the parent, or -1 if either the parent or the child is
null
getChild
public Object getChild(Object parent, int index)
Returns the child of parent at index index in the parent's child array. parent must be a node previously obtained from this data source. This should not return null if index is a valid index for parent (that is index >= 0 && index < getChildCount(parent)).
- Specified by:
-
getChild
in interfaceTreeModel
- Parameters:
-
parent
- a node in the tree, obtained from this data source -
index
- index of child to be returned - Returns:
- the child of parent at index index
getChildCount
public int getChildCount(Object parent)
Returns the number of children of parent. Returns 0 if the node is a leaf or if it has no children. parent must be a node previously obtained from this data source.
- Specified by:
-
getChildCount
in interfaceTreeModel
- Parameters:
-
parent
- a node in the tree, obtained from this data source - Returns:
- the number of children of the node parent
isLeaf
public boolean isLeaf(Object node)
Returns whether the specified node is a leaf node. The way the test is performed depends on the askAllowsChildren
setting.
- Specified by:
-
isLeaf
in interfaceTreeModel
- Parameters:
-
node
- the node to check - Returns:
- true if the node is a leaf node
- See Also:
-
asksAllowsChildren
,TreeModel.isLeaf(java.lang.Object)
reload
public void reload()
Invoke this method if you've modified the TreeNode
s upon which this model depends. The model will notify all of its listeners that the model has changed.
valueForPathChanged
public void valueForPathChanged(TreePath path, Object newValue)
This sets the user object of the TreeNode identified by path and posts a node changed. If you use custom user objects in the TreeModel you're going to need to subclass this and set the user object of the changed node to something meaningful.
- Specified by:
-
valueForPathChanged
in interfaceTreeModel
- Parameters:
-
path
- path to the node that the user has altered -
newValue
- the new value from the TreeCellEditor
insertNodeInto
public void insertNodeInto(MutableTreeNode newChild, MutableTreeNode parent, int index)

index
- index of parent's children
removeNodeFromParent
public void removeNodeFromParent(MutableTreeNode node)
Message this to remove node from its parent. This will message nodesWereRemoved to create the appropriate event. This is the preferred way to remove a node as it handles the event creation for you.

-
node
- the node to be removed from it's parrent

s upon which this model depends. The model will notify all of its listeners that the model has changed below the given node.
- Parameters:
-
node
- the node below which the model has changed
nodesWereInserted

childIndices
- indexes of inserted children
nodesWereRemoved
public void nodesWereRemoved(TreeNode node, int[] childIndices, Object[] removedChildren)

node
- changed node
