How can I persist all changes I made to these edited leaves and nodes??

sunnycodeApr 17 2007 — edited Apr 18 2007

Dear all friends:
sorry to bother,
I have following code can edit the leaf of the JTree,
But after i edit it, I found what I updated is lost, How can I persist all changes I made to these edited leaves and nodes(not leaf).
ie, to keep all these changes until i update them later.
Foe Example, I change node name from "blue" in Directory of Color to "NewHouse", then after I exit editing, node not return to blue but keep "NewHouse".

thanks

sunny

Override the valueForPathChanged method of your TreeModel and do the following. You may also want to set the userObject of your TreeNode with the new value.

Let me know if this helps...

public void valueForPathChanged(TreePath path, Object newValue) 
{
    super.valueForPathChanged(path, newValue);
    TreeNode aNode = (TreeNode)path.getLastPathComponent();
    ((MutableTreeNode)aNode).setUserObject(newValue);
    nodeChanged(aNode);
}

I believe what you're after, is that when you change the text and click somewhere else so that focus is lost on the leaf, the text isn't reverted. You are, of course, aware that if you hit the return key, an action is fired, focus is lost and the new value is saved?

Hi, Cantry, Thanks for your help.
I add your code as follows:

import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.util.EventObject;

import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
import javax.swing.JTree;
import javax.swing.JTree.*;
import javax.swing.tree.*;
import javax.swing.tree.DefaultTreeCellEditor;
import javax.swing.tree.DefaultTreeCellRenderer;
import javax.swing.tree.TreeCellEditor;
import javax.swing.tree.TreeNode;

public class EditLeafSample {
  public static void main(String args[]) {
    JFrame frame = new JFrame("Editable Tree");
    JTree tree = new JTree();
    tree.setEditable(true);

    DefaultTreeCellRenderer renderer = (DefaultTreeCellRenderer) tree.getCellRenderer();
    TreeCellEditor editor = new LeafCellEditor(tree, renderer);
    tree.setCellEditor(editor);

    JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(tree);
    frame.getContentPane().add(scrollPane, BorderLayout.CENTER);
    frame.setSize(300, 150);
    frame.setVisible(true);
  }
}

class LeafCellEditor extends DefaultTreeCellEditor {

  public LeafCellEditor(JTree tree, DefaultTreeCellRenderer renderer) {
    super(tree, renderer);
  }

  public LeafCellEditor(JTree tree, DefaultTreeCellRenderer renderer,
      TreeCellEditor editor) {
    super(tree, renderer, editor);
  }

  public void valueForPathChanged(TreePath path, Object newValue) 
  {
      super.valueForPathChanged(path, newValue);
      TreeNode aNode = (TreeNode)path.getLastPathComponent();
      ((MutableTreeNode)aNode).setUserObject(newValue);
      nodeChanged(aNode);
  }


  public boolean isCellEditable(EventObject event) {
    // Get initial setting
    boolean returnValue = super.isCellEditable(event);
    // If still possible, check if current tree node is a leaf
    if (returnValue) {
      Object node = tree.getLastSelectedPathComponent();
      if ((node != null) && (node instanceof TreeNode)) {
        TreeNode treeNode = (TreeNode) node;
        returnValue = treeNode.isLeaf();
      }
    }
    return returnValue;
  }
}

but following lines show red,

super.valueForPathChanged(path, newValue);
and
nodeChanged(aNode);

can you help more??
Thanks
sunny

That's a method for the TreeModel, not the CellEditor.

Dear Sir, thanks,
I implements the interface TreeModel already, I have following code:

  public void valueForPathChanged(TreePath path, Object newValue) 
  {
      valueForPathChanged(path, newValue);
      TreeNode aNode = (TreeNode)path.getLastPathComponent();
      ((MutableTreeNode)aNode).setUserObject(newValue);
      nodeChanged(aNode);
  }

but line nodeChanged still red, can you help tell where is this nodeChanged (aNode) available??
Thanks
sunny

nodeChanged() is not part of the TreeModel interface. Instead of implementing the interface, try extending DefaultTreeModel. The method is in there.

sunnycode

thanks a lot!! yes, you are right, once extends that class, this method will be available.
