Prevent certain cells in TreeView from being selected!?

cshFeb 10 2012 — edited Feb 10 2012
Hi,

is it possible to prevent certain cells in a TreeView from being selected?

I have a TreeView and the TreeItem's on the first "depth" should not be selectable.

I tried to add an EventHandler to the tree item and caught Event.ANY, but no event was dispatched, when a cell was selected.

Research eventFilters in combination with event.consume():
http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2.0/api/javafx/scene/Node.html#addEventFilter%28javafx.event.EventType,%20javafx.event.EventHandler%29

Other ways to accomplish this may be via a custom selectionModel:
http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2.0/api/javafx/scene/control/SelectionModel.html
http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2.0/api/javafx/scene/control/TreeView.html#setSelectionModel%28javafx.scene.control.MultipleSelectionModel%29

Or by adding a ChangeListener to the selectedItems property of a the default TreeView selectionModel and setting the items to not be selected if it is the at the first "depth".
