Need help displaying partially checked CheckBoxTree

Postby olamattsson » Tue Mar 12, 2013 2:51 am

Hi, I'm trying to display a CheckBoxTree with digin mode enabled but I can't find a way to display some non-leaf nodes partially checked.
Either all nodes are checked or none is checked.
I have tried to use CheckBoxTree.getCheckBoxTreeSelectionModel().addSelectionPath(TreePath path)
and CheckBoxTree.getCheckBoxTreeSelectionModel().setSelectionPaths(TreePath[] paths) to set which nodes should be checked but with digIn enabled all nodes become checked.

I need to be able to display a tree like this:
x
|-x
| |-x
| |-0
| |-x
|
|-x
|-x
| |-x
| |-x
| |-0

Where x means a checked (or partially checked parent) node and 0 means unchecked nodes.
I still need the digIn functionality so the user can check/uncheck complete subtrees with one click.

Please try to invoke LookAndFeelFactory#installJideExtension() before you instantiate the CheckBoxTree. The partially check image is installed there. Please give JIDE CheckBoxTreeDemo a try for the details.

I'm already calling the LookAndFeelFactory.installJideExtension() before I display the tree. It does not solve the problem.

Before I display the tree I build it by adding nodes. After the tree is built I use the tree.getCheckBoxTreeSelectionModel to try to make some nodes checked and leave others unchecked.
So, if my tree contains nodes like this:
root
|-Node 1
|-Node 2
| |
| |-Node 2.1
| |-Node 2.2
|-Node 3
and I want all Nodes except "Node 2.1" to be checked when I display the tree, how can I do that when I have digIn enabled?
If I add the treepaths for all nodes except "Node 2.1" to the checkboxtreeselectionmodel, it will only contain the root node and show every node as checked. Not what I want!!
If I disable digIn, the correct nodes are checked but then the user must check/uncheck every node one by one. Not what I want either.

Please check if you ever added the "node 2" or "root" to the check box tree selection model. If so, in digin mode, that means you want to check "node 2.2" as well. Please only add "node 1", "node 2.1" and "node 3" and check if that works for you. If still not, a test case would help us investigate further.

Aha, found the problem. The root was added to the selectionmodel.
I use a for loop to iterate over all rows in the tree:
(pseudo code, skipping casts)
Code: Select all
for (int i = 0; i <tree.getRowCount();i++){
    TreePath path = tree.getPathForRow(i);
    if (path.getLastPathComponent().getUserObject().isEnabled()){
        tree.getCheckBoxSelectionModel().addSelectionPath(path)
    }
}

The root is of course row 0, so now I iterate from index 1 instead.
