CheckBoxTree Enhancements

[jaredmac]

We wanted to replace our internal CheckBoxTree with JIDE's version, but just noticed that it does not support a mix of checkbox nodes and non-checkbox nodes.

This is something worth considering when you have a tree that contains, e.g., group title nodes with checkboxes underneath.

Also, the rendering of the mixed-state node on WinXP could be improved -- a mixed state checkbox in MSWord renders as a green square, rather than a green check with a gray background.

Thanks,

Whoops, spoke a bit too soon. Looks like overriding the method

Code: Select all

isCheckBoxVisible(TreePath path)

can accomplish what we want to do.

Yes, that's the method you can use.

For the mixed-state check box, you are right. We simple used a disabled check box and renderer it as the 3rd state. Ideally we should make a special UI just for this. However then we need to do it for every L&F which is a little too much. Anyway, we will do it in the future.

Thanks,
